Hi folks,
thanks for these 4 replies-i have only just joined this site-getting used to how it works. I need to have a detailed look at the old timetables....
I see the old route was via Tripoli[Libya?) and also Lydda[Palestine up to 1948 under the Mandate]. In later years the uk-oz route was always via Rome and Beirut?
I grew up in the Croydon area-1970s well after the great airport closed-although the grass and some old buildings remain!I have read the airport officially closed end September 1959....almost 50 years exactly.........warrants a celebration, press, flypast etc.
nice weather here-west London-marathon on at the moment!
