| Stansted Airport - A Lighter View |
|
|
|
Held at the Raddison SAS, at Stansted Airport Derek Winter enthralled a good attendance of the Stansted Airport Chamber members with a fascinating historical tour about the airport.
Derek talked through the initial beginnings of Stansted as an American air base with an enormous runway through the first hijacking incident. On June 5 there will be a 25 year commemoration of the landing of the Space Shuttle Enterprise at the airport. (More details to come) He started at Stansted Airport in November 1966 as a Accounts Clerk. (He hated accounts) He held various positions throughout his 42 years including: Personnel & Training, Terminal, Cargo, Public Relations & Marketing, he now resides in the Noise Complaints Department.
It was good for members to appreciate the roots of how the airport grew to the nearly 25 million passengers passing through each year to date. |
