Well, I haven't checked this thread for a while and so many nice comments about my Heathrow model. Alas, it's currently 'wintering' (brrrr!) and dismantled in the garage,waiting for me to do more to it, which I will when it gets warmer and the days are longer, as I hate working under artificial light!
Here are some more of my model airliners on the layout. Many of these you can't buy commercially, so I have repainted some models and got a friend to make some 1/400th scale decals for them, giving me Cunard Eagle Airways, British Eagle, Cambrian, Starways and many more for the '60s era.
No, I never worked at Heathrow, just had an urge to have a good record of
the wonderful times I spent on the Roof Gardens 'reggie spotting' with my Dad in the '60s. You could take photos without a telephoto lens, we had good summers then, no terrorist threats...life in Britain was good then!!
