The Return of the U/A Heathrow girls Summer of 1967!

The Return of the U/A Heathrow girls Summer of 1967!

For many years now, we here on the Archive have prided ourselves on the photos based on Clint’s 1967 trip to the UK – and specifically the photo shoot that took place at London’s Heathrow airport upon Clint’s arrival. 

It was United Artists who were responsible for the welcoming party consisting of 3 poncho clad beauties who were there to greet Clint. It’s become something of a ‘thing’ now among a few of the Archive’s staff – Kevin Wilkinson and Davy Triumph especially. The hunt to discover any new photos from this shoot is always a cause to celebrate. So, when Kevin dropped this one in my mail box this week – I was grinning all over. 

I was so tempted to keep this one for our Photo Opportunity for June, but excitement (I’m afraid) simply got the better of me. It’s funny, but with this collection of shots getting larger and larger, it does beg the question, ‘Just how many photos were taken in total from this shoot?’ The three U/A girls dressed in cowboy hats, ponchos and toy guns are Sue Melody, Sandra Marshall and Anita McGregor. I’d love to know if these three ladies are still out there today?

Whatever the answer is, if we continue to discover them, we’ll continue to save and keep them here. I have also added this newly discovered shot to the rest of the existing photos in the original post found HERE 

Great find Kev!
