Hello Chris. I worked for BAA in Airport Operations from 1969 until August 2000 when I took early retirement. Great days.. Originally based top of the main office building in those 3 large glass windows where it says "Welcome to Gatwick" where we did all the stand allocations. Later on the airfield in the Leader Vehicles runway inspections etc.. Good old days of DanAir and Laker , British Caledonian etc with Comets, B707 , Dc8, VC10 , Bac1-11 and many more.. A lot has changed now at Gatwick but happy memories. Love following your streams mate.. Keep them going 👍

Chris, for me this experience for you shows how much respect you have from Gatwick Airport. You have always shown them respect and I too would like to thank everyone who arranged for you to have Air Side Access. Amazing footage or as you love to say, and I agree 100% “Beautiful”. Loved seeing the footage from the Tug. Chris you have built your channel which is Respected by all those who work at Airports and your members. I’m 75 now, loved Aviation since I was 10 but my enthusiasm has got even more stronger since joining your channel. Of course Heathrow, Stansted and London City Airports also respect your channel. Great Video.

Wow, what a video to be proud of! I've not flown for probably 40yrs but want to see Gatwick as I want to fly to Glasgow. I just need to get my bearings. I don't appreciate all of what goes on getting a jet airborne, the airport must be truly organisef. Thank you

So pleased to see you are getting access airside. It's so great to see a KZitemr making great video's and not just in it for the money. I used to follow another guy on here but you can't even join in chat without paying. I am proud to be a member of your chanel, Oliverdots. Keep up the fantastic work Chris.

Well done mate and what a great insight that we would never see as enthusiasts.
