A Day at the Queens Building - Heathrow Airport 1987 - 1996) Part 1

This is Part 1 of a seven part series of videos shot between 1987 and 1996 on the famous Queens Building viewing area at London Heathrow airport.
The video begins with the journey into the airport by Bus and takes us through the main airport tunnel and into Heathrow Central. We then take a look at the Central area bus station and old Heathrow Control Tower building, followed by a walk up the steps to the legendary bridge that took all plane spotters to the Queens Building in the 1960's/70's/80's and early 1990's.

As we walk over the bridge you will have to visualize the old Queens Building being at the far side of the bridge, this is because when I shot the footage, the Queens Building along with the old Terminal 2, had been demolished and I had, just had!, to grab one last chance to film the famous walk over that bridge!
This unique footage was filmed during 2012 and 2013 and captures some of the old Heathrow magic.
The footage then moves on to the Queens Building itself! Filmed by my aviation friend Ian Austin in 1988. 1988 was a great year for plane spotting as it had a perfect fusion of new planes and classics from the 1960's and 70's, many of these you will see in this and the other 6 videos in this series. My special thanks to Ian for donating all of his valuable tapes to me and for having the foresight to capture so much of 'old' Heathrow.
Here is a tale of great plane spotting!
