interesting obversation...how much difference was there..i.e. London scene, from 1968...to say 1971, up to around 1975....I remember going to London, for my high school senior trip in spring of 1970.....before I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force..( keep from being drafted ) and in 1974, was stationed near KENT..and it was still sorta the flower power scene in London...maybe not as much as it was in the swinging 60's....

I think our dad took us on the Edinburgh to London shuttle flight in the late 60's for a short trip and showed us around. The ministry of aviation still ran Edinburgh airport (before the BAA)!. The trip was great. In my mind things changed quickly in the 60's with Moon landings, colour TV and the changing pop music. By the time I was a teenager the 60's were over! All great times.
