Anyone know when LGW was closed for such a long time?
When i was a youth (many years ago) i had just passed my driving test and had to go out in the Laker Ops Van (lightweight) and collect a CSD for a BCAL DC10 Sub charter LGW-LAGOS. She lived in Burgess Hill and it was snowing heavily. The flight was waiting on ramp as less than min crew.
Eventually found her, and got her to the aircraft.
Subsequently on leaving Laker after a 15 hr day i "dropped" my motorcycle just coming out of the security gate.
Aaagh memories (and least my driving is better than Joua from Portugal and his fellow Countrymen)
