Duma : great post .Locked down and enjoying the week-end scroll down Prune, took a glance & then thorough read of your terrific opener & following posts. Fabbo memories. Being a Brighton boy, still got up to Heathrow a lot as my Dad was working overseas and became a regular transit. There to see him off and welcome him back throughout the 50's ,60's and early 70's.
My wildest career ambitions were achieved and this little old Brighton School-boy boxer later got to fly Viscounts, tridents, 76 and 340's in and out of an incredible airfield. This thread had me welling up-again ! Rotters !
