Heathrow the Early Years DVD - Description
Journey back to the post-war golden era of civil aviation, when London's new Heathrow airport seemed like the most glamorous and cosmopolitan place you'd ever been! These three extremely rare films capture Heathrow in its earliest days, thronging with classic airliners of the period from all over the world in long-vanished liveries and alive with excitement as flights came and went to the far-flung corners of the globe. London Airport looks at the airport's construction and facilities in 1949. Highlights on Air-Crossroads London include following a BEA departure and visits to BEA and BOAC engineering facilities. The third film, Wings Over the World, film features a wealth of early airliners at Heathrow including the Brabazon, Constellation, Viking, Hermes and Stratocruiser as well as previews of the Comet and Viscount.
