Yep..remember the revolving light very well..and the DC7cs..Super Connies..Britts DC6s and the 17.5 hours run to NYC!!! and as part of the MTCA (Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation) tower staff my checking the runway for debris before running the runway caravan onto the 24 hard standing for the night watch! Oh and the hilarious time the BEA apron vehile (a funny Heinkel three wheeler) was blow over complete with driver and rolled into the passenger exit from the booking hall (in the hangar) by a Supe Connie taxiing out... Happy 1959
