Description
Heathrow Propliners: A Nostalgic Look Back For over 75 years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain's leading international airport, and for the first 30 years of its life, most movements were made using propliners. This book celebrates the unique variety of airlines and propliners seen at Heathrow during its heyday, as captured by dedicated aviation photographers. Author Tom Singfield, who first visited the airport as a plane spotter in the mid 1960s, shares his personal experiences of watching aircraft come and go, as well as the hustle and bustle of life on the apron. The photographs in this book reflect on a gentler time when visitors were still welcome, and offer a nostalgic glimpse into the airport's early years. With 144 pages of images, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in aviation history and the early days of Heathrow Airport.
