A little about Heathrow

The history
The land where Heathrow stands proudly today was a mere 150-acre plot owned by the Vicar of Harmondsworth. Richard Fairey, who was a british aeroengineer, bought this land and made an airbase for testing and building aircraft. This was named as Fairey’s Great West Aerodrome. The UK government then requisitioned this land, as well as the surrounding lands, during World War II to make RAF Heston. This served as a base for troop-carrying aircraft.
The same airbase was later handed over to the Air Ministry after the war, and they developed this airbase into London’s first civil airport. The first aircraft to take off from the civil airport was a Lancaster bomber named Starlight. In 1966, London Airport was renamed to Heathrow Airport, as we know it today.
Heathrow Airport has undergone a lot of changes over the years to be one of the major international airports today. The services, passenger numbers, and operations at the airport have changed drastically. By the year 2006, it had handled over 1 billion passengers across over 14 million flights.
