This is definitely not 2002. I was working on ramp there then. This could be as late as 1995

I love those videos from the 90s excellent Work of the 2000s

good old time...:-)))

90s is the best times

Brilliant upload of a timeless era of aviation
Would agree it’s late 80’s early 90’s

I used to visit Gatwick as a kid in the 90s remember all of these  great memories back then... Gatwick was full of various airlines and aircraft compared to nowadays 👍👍 Thanks for sharing

Two 707s and two DC-8s, awesome!

The good old days!

Great video John! Nice to see L1011 👍✈️

Much earlier than 2000. I saw several 707s rotating our of there!

Amazing to see these views again, thanks for the memories. It looks like this video is from 1996, based on the Air Liberte leased BAC 1-11.

Wow this is proper nostalgic according to the background and liveries of some airlines this has to be 1996 to 97. Emirates when they were establishing themselves, Qatar wear practically new with 747-100 and seeing MD-11s & DC10s. Continental theme still sort of around but now United Airlines. Landor livery was the best on all BA aircrafts. BA based some B747 400s from around 1997 to 2002 when there was that drastic switch from Heathrow with long haul flights which in the end didn't work out. I remember going to Los Angeles from Gatwick on BA DC10 in 1991 which will always be my most memorable holiday.

The Qatar 747 dates this well before 2002. Probably 95 /96 . Nice video thanks

I remember seeing all of these Aircraft and airlines in the 90s. Fantastic memories. I used to visit the viewing terrace there. I flew out of Gatwick a few times, BA ATR 42 in the Landor livery back Then , to Guernsey and EasyJet 737 to Edinburgh. Only a kid back Then my dad took me to LGW all the time. The model store the cafe the comet cockpit,  I remember something called "Skyview" . Remember seeing Delta's L1011s, Md11s Continental dc10s, Lots of 707s back then. The Alitalia Md80s I always saw those. When northwest Flew their Dc10s into LGW. Peach Air L1011s. Bcal L1011s. Jersey European. So many have now gone. LGW always use to be really busy.

Knowing more about cars than planes I spotted at least 2 MK3 fiestas in the footage which were released in 1989. That's my input. Thanks for sharing.

I'd say much earlier than 2002, BA old livery, so many DC10s and L1011s especially a Calidonian DC10, Britania 767, Britania merged with Thomson in 1999 I believe and the Laker DC10? And Air UK ceased operations in 1998

Definitely earlier than 2002, I’d say early 90’s judging by the DC8 and 707 freighters. Awesome video!

What a fab video! It's got to be around mid/late 90's....I did spot just one lonely A320(I think😉).....see how it's changed now😱

Almost 100% positive that was 1996. Old/original Air 2000 livery and Air UK Leisure being at the South Terminal. They moved over to the North (when it was extended towards the Satellite and the Wall was built) for a season before becoming part of Air2000. Fond memories, although it will be a while before it gets that busy again...

I miss the triple engine jets
