Presentation by Ian Anderson, Eastern Region Panel Member for ICE Panel for Historical Engineering Works.
Heathrow began life as a small preWW2 airfield for Fairey’s, an aircraft manufacturer. After WW2 it was decided to rebuild Heathrow as the prime London Airport. It has grown to be the busiest UK airport with 70 million passengers and 1.5 million tonnes of freight passing through per annum. It has seen many innovative buildings built, including terminals, aircraft hangars, tunnels & the control tower.
Ian Anderson is a retired chartered civil and structural engineer with 45 years previous experience, having worked on bridges & buildings in UK for three local authorities including Suffolk County Council and latterly, Milton Keynes Dev Corp as a consultant and a contractor. Ian is East Anglian representative on the ICE Panel for Historical Engineering Works, whose task is to record the largest/oldest/unusual civil engineering items in UK/Eire. Various specialists in the group record such things as bridges, tunnels, railways, water towers, land drainage, piers, windmills etc. Due to Ian’s long-term interest in aircraft he is responsible for recording aircraft hangars in the UK/Eire. Inevitably this interest has led to an interest in airfield history generally, hence this talk.
