For those interested in the DVD (not that any of you are now you've seen it for free.. albeit very small).. the DVD is called 'Heathrow - The Early Years' and it's published by
http://www.ddhe.co.uk - ref DD D.22927. The DVD does run a tad longer than that clip (thank goodness
) at 56mins and is B&W throughout ;-)
A nice stocking filler xwink

Lovely....I really enjoyed that Dan...Thank you for a very nostalgic present...I didn't know Heathrow then, but my father did and I well remember his tales of how it was then
I even remember his description of the tents
