When Ronald Waters bought 90 acres of farmland adjacent to the
Gatwick racecourse in 1930 in order to set up a private airfield,
little did he know how that airfield would evolve over the next
eighty-nine years to become the world's busiest single-runway
airport. Back in the 1960s and '70s it became a hub for aircraft
enthusiasts and photographers who, thanks to the viewing decks,
could get up close to the aircraft and enjoy the eclectic mix of
new jetliners and old propeller airliners. Tom Singfield,
ex-Gatwick Air Traffic Controller and a fan of all classic
airliners, has long dreamt of a book showcasing the glory days of
Gatwick's classic airliners. After thirty years of searching out
the very best colour images of that time, he is now able to publish
the results of his searches in this book. These stunning pictures
celebrate those wonderful times and the amazing and much missed
'propliners' that operated from Gatwick for the first twenty years
after its reopening in 1958.
