the history of how heathrow is where it is is even more interesting. skullduggery and backroom politics were the order of the day. heathrow is in a terrible place for an airport, flying directly over the capital, being prone to heavy fog that blighted operation till the 1970s when ILS was improved. I know of BA pilots who used to check their approach by sighting the M4 motorway. today though heathrow is an amazing facility contributing 1% to the GDP of the UK!
Terminal 1 will be missed

Name of song?
I have the same question! So touching!
I used Shazam, and apparently the song is called "Ashes" by Embrace. Hope that helps.

Why? What happened to it all that 8 billion people wouldn’t be interested?
