Does anybody remember this shop. It was around in the mid 80’s on the north side. I don’t think it lasted long though.

I remember it well, I think it traded under a couple of names in the 80’s. It was the only place that had a ‘rumours board’. the net and flight radar would have blown our minds back then. This was not related to the West Drayton shop, which is still there. I think ‘C5’ was buzdozed to build the current visitors centre area and offices?

C5 as in Sinclair? I do recall it but at West Drayton I thought? How time flies.

It can’t be a Galaxy…everyone, or at least all serious aeroplane students…know it’s written C–5.

I think they moved to be one of these shops. It is just coincidence that I moved to the area just as they closed…

Jeez, I thought you meant a Galaxy had been into Heathrow today…

Yes, didn’t it later move to a location in West Drayton?
I think it lasted in to the 90s…
