Heston Airport was famous for having a 15ft diameter clock sunken into the ground just in front of the control tower (just Google Images “Heston Airport’s clock” if you haven’t seen pictures of it before).
The main Heston complex was demolished in 1978, but I have been told the clock was removed and ended up in a museum, probably in storage. I have a series of photos taken during the demolition and the clock certainly isn’t there, so there may be some truth in this.
Does anyone know any more? Anyone ever seen it??
thanks!
