Yes, I enjoyed that!...In those days I heard it referred to as "The Trident Domain" :dancer:
Peter, something I always wondered: many (not all) Tridents in those shots have the tail set to negative pitch. Was there a reason for this? It seems odd to have them almost as far away from takeoff trim as you can get. If my memory isn't dodgy, any Tridents I saw at Edinburgh used to be the same (not that I saw them every day).
Jim,

It was in the closing down drills..."Wind the tail trim fully nose down"...I think it was a safe and stress free place to park it with all the hydraulics off :)
