Heathrow a national treasure?

Post by speedbird591 »

I've just been reading the latest BA staff magazine.

They've just started work on the hangar roof at Tech Block A (TBA) the old BOAC hangar behind Speedbird House. It needs to be altered to accommodate the A380s.

Apparently TBA is a Grade 11 listed building and BA had to get permission from English Heritage before work could commence!

I'm sorry, but I can't get my head around it! :lol:

Yes, yes, yes. You lot know what I meant: Grade 2, grade II, grade two blahblahblah... :lol:

Sandpaper? There's no need to be so abrasive! That really rubbed me up the wrong way - but I'll be fine soon.
