For over 75 years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain-s No.1 international airport. For the first 30 years of its life, most of the movements were made using propliners. Author and photographer Tom Singfield first visited the airport as a plane spotter in the mid 1960s, before securing a dream job as an Air Traffic Control assistant in 1969. Watching the aircraft coming and going as well as all the hustle and bustle of life on the apron was a memorable experience and these images reflect on those happy days when airliners didn-t all look the same.
