Had my fifth birthday party in "the' restaurant ( Nissen Hut) at Heathrow, thirty odd kids, Then bonfires, (five big ones) at the end of the runway. My second and third flights were standing beside Nancy in the nose of her Dragon Rapide for a sightseeing flight down the Thames to Tower of London. 5GBP was a lot of money then, My grandfather used to organise cricket matches beside the runway, airport staff versus the Wimpey's people.

Blessed times.
