Planes at Heathrow Airport in December 1981 and May & June 1988 - from the top of the Queen`s Building
another "content over style" web page from Steve Johnson Cyberheritage
During the period we are looking at here, I spent a lot of time flying between England and Europe. When I did this I always tried to take some photos. Well here are some, and I hope they will be of some interest to you, many should print out well, easily to 5in by 7in and some hopefully bigger.
Most are taken from the public viewing area on the roof of one of the terminals at Heathrow....mostly from the observation roofdeck of the Queen`s Building. I wonder if it is still open to the public, or has the threat of terrorists caused it to be closed? I spent many happy hours here inhaling that lovely sweet smell of burnt aviation fuel on a hot summer day! Ahh..the memories!
The ones that look cold and snowy are December 1981,...it snowed! the rest are May / June 1988. There are some scratches and minor blemishes on some images - they should be easily removed in a simple photo programme.
