Terminal 2 closes

TERMINAL 2 HEATHROW, once called the Europa Building, will close after the final Air France arrival from Paris scheduled for 22:30 on Monday night (24 November).  If all is working on time the AF 1881 should have left its stand for Charles de Gaulle just ten minutes earlier.  No tears will be shed and we have not heard of any action by English Heritage or legacy groups to save the eyesore.  Next door the Queen's Building, once the airport’s control tower, is already being reduced to rumble.  Older readers may recall that in the late fifties and early sixties Tavern in The Sky, the terminal’s public restaurant overlooking the apron, was quite the place to eat on a Saturday night.  Your Editor recalls 12 shillings and six pence for a three-course meal but stands to be put right.  Corrections to info@aerbt.co.uk
