The first space shuttle, Enterprise, never made it to space, but it did make it to Stansted Airport.

Earlier in the week Heathrow hosted a group of spotters for a day going behind the scenes at the airport, including a look around the fantastic new Terminal 2. As part of the day, NATS and Heathrow asked the spotters to submit their best photos for a competition where you get to decide the winners.

We’ve been delving through the archives and uncovered some great old photographs of air traffic control at Heathrow in the 1940s and 50s. We thought you might like to see them.
