Just out of interest, does anyone know if there have been any further proposals as to the future use of the old VCR? I had heard rumours that it may serve the purpose as a possible viewing platform for spectators, however in the security consious world we live in today I wouldnt like to put a bet on it.
I might be wrong but the old Control Tower building may well have a preservation order on it i.e- it is a listed building. Not the most aesthetically pleasing of buildings from the external I know but im sure it has served its purpose over the last 50+ years exceptionally well. It would be a shame to see it demolished as its really part of the Heathrow scenery. Long may it stay as a reminder of its former glory!
