Is that a Seneca in the background of the 747, can't ever recall seeing light aircraft over on that side of the airfield.
It wasn't too unusual to see light aircraft over at the maintenance area at LGW, I remember seeing a few over the years for whatever reason, although very rare to say the least.

Not sure if you would actually class these as "light aircraft" but they we're once regular visitors to the BCAL maintenance area. British Caledonian Airways Executive Charter had two Piper pa31 Navajo Chieftain aircraft

G-CLAN and G-SCOT.
