For over seventy-five years, London Airport (Heathrow) has been Britain’s busiest international airport, but for the first thirty years of its life, before the dominance of jetliners, most of its passengers and cargo travelled on propeller-powered aircraft.

With over 200 colour images, Classic Heathrow Propliners celebrates the huge variety of visiting propliners that were photographed by the dedicated aviation enthusiasts who spent many hours at the airport during those golden years, when non-travelling visitors were still made welcome by airport authorities.
