Many years ago I assume that LHR operated without the SID STAR structure thate xistes today . But even though my memory of listening illegally to LHR Tower goes back to the days of lines of BEA Tridents waiting to depart , and thus the actual movement level was pretty high, I cannot remember anything before the Dover 1 Clacton 2 etc etc SIDS on airband but when younger still I remember LHR was till pretty busy with long lines of aircraft waiting to depart and . Some of the ones used have now crept up to much higher version number along with letter suffixes and some exotic ones have disappered completely .
So what happened before the SID appeared did pliots get their who;le airways clearnce read out to them?
Apologies if this has come up before but the downside of remembering the wonderful variety of aircraft at LHR in the sixties is that I cannot recall what I read six months ago!
