Gatwick, UK - 26 March 1988

Although Philippine Airlines flew three times a week between Gatwick and Manila in 1988 (with three stops each way!), they were still probably one of the more exotic airlines that could be seen at Gatwick on a regular basis. Unfortunately I only got around to taking a photo of them after the 'Sunriser' corporate identity was introduced in 1987.
