How Did Heathrow Become The World's Biggest Airport?!?

The concise history of the construction of London's biggest airport, The Heathrow. A story which started with some good old British ingenuity, backstabbing from a familiar face and a rather nervy future.

Interesting, but what was Terminal one please, I know that I have seen signs when I got off the train there. What has happened to it, and are they going to rebuild, and reopen it?

I've just discovered your channel on my Home Page. How is this channel so modest when it's so good? You deserve to go big! I've subscribed!

That's very nice of you to say. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the video, thanks very much for your comment.

Informative but I could do without the cartoon music in the background. Almost makes it unlistenable.

[@acivilconversation18]

Cheers, glad you learnt something from the video

I agree

Nasty music is irritating
