Description
The Gatwick Propliners: A Celebration of Aviation History In 1930, Ronald Waters purchased a 90-acre farm adjacent to the Gatwick racecourse to establish a private airfield. This humble beginning would eventually evolve into the world's busiest single-runway airport. The 1960s and '70s saw Gatwick become a hub for aircraft enthusiasts and photographers, who could get up close to the aircraft via viewing decks. These enthusiasts were treated to an eclectic mix of new jetliners and old propeller airliners, including the iconic propliners that operated from Gatwick from 1958 to 1978. After thirty years of searching, Tom Singfield has compiled a stunning collection of colour images showcasing these wonderful times in aviation history. This book brings together some of the best photographs from this period, celebrating the unique charm and character of Gatwick's classic propliners.
