Credits
Credit where credit is due…
Indeed, we couldn’t have provided you with this website without the help and generous contributions of the multitude of individuals and organisations listed below:
So, special thanks go to contributors:
Richard Vandervord – One of the U.K.’s most prominent aircraft photographers whose name is synonymous with aviation photography from the early-70s to the present. I would personally like to extend both my thanks and gratitude to Richard for the vast selection of Southend related pictures he has given this project access to and for also providing the photo for our site banner.
You can see more of Richard’s pictures either by clicking on the website’s sidebar link or on the links below.

Peter Clark – Ex-Channel Air Bridge/Heavylift employee and former president of the SEN chapter of the Royal Aeronautical Society, for contributing a great deal of first hand information, corrections and suggestions with regards to SEN’s history, Air Charter and Aviation Traders entries, not to mention a number of other Southend airlines and companies too. Peter has also provided a full account of his time at Southend which is available to view by clicking here.
Richard Goring – Ex-Aviation Traders and Overseas Aviation employee, editor of Anglian Aviation News and a long established aviation researcher, photographer (Transportraits) and enthusiast who has previously contributed to such weighty tomes as the three volume ‘British Civil Aircraft Since 1919’, not to mention a good number of Air Britain and Air Pictorial publications. I would like to personally thank Richard for the site’s background picture and the classic shots he has provided for this website, many of which are unobtainable elsewhere. I would also like to thank him for his email support and the in-depth and interesting information that he has provided with many of his photographs, some of which you will find on this website.
More of Richard’s pictures can be accessed from the sidebar links on this website.
David Whitworth – Another prominent photographer with a huge range of images to his credit. I’d like to personally thank David for not only giving me access to his own pictures, but for permitting me to use the classic ‘Tony Clarke Collection’ too. More of David’s (and Tony’s) pictures can be found by clicking on his sidebar link.
Dave Welch – Former pilot, navigator and aviation enthusiast who has again, contributed a wide range of shots, many of which are not available elsewhere. I’d like to personally thank Dave for helping to put the last pieces into the puzzle as far as some of the various menus on this site are concerned.
Brian Doherty – Classic aviation photographer Brian has provided this site with many pictures from the ’50s and ’60s that are nigh on impossible to source in this day and age which I am quite naturally, very grateful to him for.
Tony Hancke – Another of aviation’s well seasoned photographers who has provided a good number of shots from the ’50s, including much of the Air Charter, Bristol 170 fleet. Indeed, I would like to extend a big thank you to Tony for helping me fill this particular menu.
Keith Burton – A prominent, Southend, aviation photographer who has been involved with aviation photography since 1962. I’d like to personally thank Keith for a number of classic shots that he has contributed.
Tony Merton-Jones – A huge thank you to the editor of ‘Propliner Magazine’ and author of a number of other, excellent, aviation related tomes who has given this site access to much of his hugely informative and well researched material.
Björn Larsson and David Zekria – Another big thanks to the webmasters of ‘Aviation Timetable Images’ for making many of their timetables available for non-commercial use.

Jim Brazier – SEN Air Traffic Controller, for his ‘On this day’ postings on the LSA TAN forum, for his help with providing a good number of airport events and dates and also for a number of exceedingly rare images.

It goes without saying that it would be nigh on impossible to create a website of this magnitude without making use of knowledge that is in the public domain, but often needs a serious amount of research and investigative work to source. Needless to say, under the terms of ‘fair use’ I have used the following to confirm, cross-reference and correct information and would personally like to thank those listed below for making such information available.
