Classic Heathrow Propliners
New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
For the first 30 years of Heathrow’s existence, most of its travellers flew on propeller-powered aircraft. Tom Singfield, a teenage plane spotter who went on to have a long career in aviation, presents a collection of enthusiasts’ photographs of early passenger craft from a period when the airport authorities were more welcoming to visitors than today.
Product information
Full publisher description
For over seventy-five years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain's busiest international airport, but for the first thirty years of its life, before the dominance of jetliners, most of its passengers and cargo travelled on propeller-powered aircraft.
With over 200 colour images, Classic Heathrow Propliners celebrates the huge variety of visiting propliners that were photographed by the dedicated aviation enthusiasts who spent many hours at the airport during those golden years, when non-travelling visitors were still made welcome by airport authorities.
