| Southall Gasometer :
----------
Infamous landmark for pilots approaching Heathrow airport, when having had to use the now de-activated 05/23 [crossed] runway, more usual in poorer weather conditions.
So as not to be confused with the similar approach to nearby RAF Northolt, also having a gasometer on its approach : Each was marked with bold lettering, to aid the pilots, to distinguish for their arrival, at their correct destination. |
