Anyone remember the fireman's strike at Heathrow circa 1970? They lasted for a number of hours each day. BEA, Aer Lingus,, KLM etc so would arrive at Luton drop passengers off and position to Heathrow ready when fire cover was back up to full complement. There was a dispute at Gatwick in the early 1970s and remember Dan-Air Comets parked on the taxiway adjacent to the fire station!
