Heathrow Runway Caravans
I was idly mulling over my youth, as you do, and remembered my time as a meteorological assistant at London Airport from 1947 to 1949. In foggy conditions it was our job to go to the runway controller's caravan and report how many runway lights were visible. I wonder why the controller didn't do this. In later years when operating from LHR and most other airfields I can't remember caravans. When did they cease to be used?
