Gatwick Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatwick_Airport#History)

Does anyone have any old maps of Gatwick Airport showing each expansion phase since the 1956–1958 big expansion?

Might be better to post in the Aviation History section. Those boys over there have some great stuff:ok:

While it wont go back to the 1950's, you can use Google Earth, input a route that includes Gatwick and it will allow you to backdate the satellite coverage.
