    I stopped there twice in 86 and 1987 while coming back from Minneapolis while on leave in the U.S Army stationed in west Germany.

    The dog is saying "Check it out, bro, there's some serious shit in here !"..

      No. Dog's don't say 'bro' or 'shit'. They are more respectable than that.

    Spectators? Where was that?

      Theres been no access to the South Terminal spectators gallery for a good few years now but you used to get to it by lift from the mezzanine floor above where the passenger arrivals exit is now. The actual spectator platform, which was on the outside of the building, faced west and had good views of the runway, the old pier one, pier two and satellite, is still there but much of the outlook has been obscured by recent building work.

      @@primreamer4545 In early 80s Crawley, before there was the County Mall to hang around in, me and school friends would get the train from Three Bridges and mill about Gatwick when we were bored. That included going up to spectators. Plane spotters would be up there ticking off numbers, sometimes the odd Concorde as I recall...

      South Terminal, I think you went to the 4 floor in the lift by the arrival area.
      Where Bloc Hotel is now, they still have access to the balcony that we could stand on looking at the airfield.
      Miss those days

    Was miles better back then. Now days you’re herd through like cattle being rinsed for every penny during the process.
