Descriptionof Gatwick in Photographs

In 1930, an airfield was built in rural Surrey, nestled between two farms and next to a horse racing track. Following steady growth, Gatwick Airport was officially opened by the Minister of Air in 1936. Since the opening of the second runway in 1958, Gatwick has been considered London's second airport. Those wanting to book a package holiday in the 1960s and 70s often flew from here with charter airlines that operated a wide variety of aircraft to destinations all over the world. This diversity made visits fascinating for aircraft enthusiasts, who enjoyed themselves immensely from viewing platforms with direct views of the parked planes. From the pre-war construction work to today's bustling activity, "Gatwick in Photographs" traces the airport's history through its aircraft in magnificent color photographs.
