File Description:
The site upon which the airport now known as London Heathrow was built was acquired by the British government by compulsory purchase from Fairey Aviation in 1944. Thereafter development continued apace and in April 1955 terminal buildings and a control tower in the central area came into operation. Prior to that the terminal (which continued in use as the North Terminal for some years) had been on the northern boundary of the airport immediately adjacent to the Bath Road. This scenery represents The London Airport, as it was then called, in this first phase of its existence, that is between 1946 and 1955.
