Classic Heathrow Propliners by Tom Singfield

Classic Heathrow Propliners by Tom Singfield

For over seventy-five years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain’s busiest international airport, but for the first thirty years of its life, before the dominance of jetliners, most of its passengers and cargo travelled on propeller-powered aircraft. With over 200 colour images, Classic Heathrow Propliners celebrates the huge variety of visiting propliners that were photographed by the dedicated aviation enthusiasts who spent many hours at the airport during those golden years, when non-travelling visitors were still made welcome by airport authorities.

Tom Singfield started work as an Air Traffic Control Assistant at Heathrow Airport in 1969. He stayed there unti1 1978 when he trained to become an Air Traffic Control Officer. A devotee of aircraft ‘spotting’ at Gatwick, he went on to work there as an ATCO until 1992 when the Approach Radar service moved to the London ATC Centre at West Drayton, retiring after 37 years in 2005. A busy aviation writer and photographer with a collection of slides in excess of 50,000, he lives in West Sussex.
