Photo Comment

Monique Agazarian's Island Air Services had the rights to Pleasure Flights at Heathrow's Ground enclosure in the mid 1950s. In addition to G-AFFB, G-AGJG, G-AGUF they hired G-AGZO from Marshall Flying Services. The Rapides would blast straight across the grass to the runway and slot into the traffic pattern at the Towers discretion. Note high tech security fence and BOAC white tail Constellation climbing from 28R.
