THE Ministry of Aviation's first
permanent mechanical transport depot at London (Heathrow) Airport was recently opened by Sir Richard Way, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Aviation.
The new three-part building consists of garage, workshop and offices, and will enable all the technical M.T. facilities
al 2 of the airport to be brought under one roof for the first time. Up to now this equipment has been scattered over an area of about 20 sq. miles both inside and outside the airport, with inevitable inconvenience and delay.
The garage covers a floor area of 35,000 sq. ft., the Workshop 13,500 sq. ft., and the office-block more than 6.000 sq. ft.
