Yes, I'll cheerfully accept there might still be the odd resident
who
hasn't moved since Heathrow opened. 64 years ago. (Did you know
Heathrow
had six runways in the late '40s?)

My first trip through Heathrow was 58 years ago. I would have used
the old North Terminal, I guess, although I checked in at the BEA
terminal, which I think was around Waterloo somewhere - they hadn't
built their Kensington terminal off Cromwell Road then
