This film from 11th February 1952, shows us the new Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Phillip arriving at London Airport (now Heathrow.) She is seen descending from the BOAC aeroplane that had just brought her back from Kenya. The new Queen is seen shaking hands with British leaders including Winston Churchill shortly after the death of her father, King George VI. Although she has just lost her beloved father, she is seen poised and dignified although she must have been so distraught. The new Queen Elizabeth went on to be Britain's longest serving monarch and in my a opinion the most beloved. RIP your majesty.

An original grass airfield had been developed as early as 1929 called the Great West Aerodrome on land southeast of the hamlet of Heath Row, from which the modern airport takes its name. At that time the land around consisted of farms and open countryside.
In the wartime the airfield had been used by Fairy Aviation as a test and engineering site, but development of the whole Heath Row area as a much larger airport began in 1944. It was principally going to be used for long-distance military aircraft bound for the Far East, but by the time the airfield was complete, the war had ended, so the Government continued to develop the site as a civil airport. The airport was opened officially on 25th March 1946 by the Minister for Aviation Lord Winster as London Airport, but had operated from 1st January of that year when it was transferred from the Air Ministry to the civilian Ministry of Civil Aviation. The airport wasn't renamed Heathrow Airport, the name we know today until September 1966.
This film made in 1949, charts and explains the initial early development of what was then sleepy countryside west of London, all interesting stuff. Oh, the aeroplane at the beginning of the film is a Avro Lancastrian airliner, a development of the wartime Avro Lancaster bomber.
