Prestwick 17th July 1962

I’m in possesion of some old logs from Prestwick, these date back some 60 plus years – so i thought that I’d share a log that matches the day and the month. It’s great fun looking back over these logs, there was a bit more variety and traffic at Prestwick then.

Below is the log for the day, it probably doesn’t cover the time before the first train and possibly after the last train – spotters used to be dependent on such things. But all in all I’m sure that you’ll agree that it was a not bad day, I’d certainly have liked to be there – it was a further four years before I managed a days spotting at Prestwick.

All in all, that would have been considered a not bad day for a spotter at Prestwick. If it was a first visit there would have been the CF-100’s and the Sabres all over the back at the Monkton side, there were too many to list here in the short time that I have.

Support this site.

It does take some time and effort to create these downloads, also there are a number of costs associated with running the site. So if you can consider supporting this site with a donation it would be helpful, if you find the site useful then why not treat me to a doughnut – or even a doughnut and a coffee if you’re feeling really flush.

But regardless of whether you donate or not, I hope that the contents of the files are of some use, also bear in mind that the files are all from the 24th of June 2024 – I will try and produce a new data set every month or more frequently if time allows.
