Classic Heathrow Propliners

by Tom Singfield

For over 75 years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain's No.1 international airport. For the first 30 years of its life, most of the movements were made using propliners. Author and photographer Tom Singfield first visited the airport as a plane spotter in the mid 1960s, before securing a dream job as an Air Traffic Control assistant in 1969. Watching the aircraft coming and going as well as all the hustle and bustle of life on the apron was a memorable experience and these images reflect on those happy days when airliners didn't all look the same. This nostalgic book, following on from the author's successful books on Classic Gatwick Propliners and Jetliners, celebrates the huge variety of airlines and propliners seen and photographed by dedicated aviation photographers who flocked to admire Heathrow's visiting aircraft, a gentler time when visitors were still welcome
