Gatwick Nostalgia Thread

[RossS]

Hi all, I have a really random question.

I remember when I was little, I went on holiday to Crete. this was around 1995-98 at a rough guess.

I clearly remember that there was a Arnold Schwarzenegger statue in his Terminator leather jacket and one red eye. It was in a glass cylinder cabinet in one of the terminals.

I was only about 6 or 7 at the time but really remember it well. Does anyone else remember this or did I completely make it up? Doubt anyone would have any photos?

Just want to prove to my family that i am not crazy and have not made it up!

Thanks

I don’t know if these have been posted on here before –

Gatwick in 2002, before the restrictions on Heathrow-US flights were lifted. This was at a time when several British and American carriers were transitioning their fleets and/or liveries which made for remarkable variety.

Hello there I used to live in redhill Surrey as a young lad and my parent's also used to take me to Gatwick airport and I remember very well the huge life size terminator in the big glass dome cover. And also there used to be a prop aircraft on the roof of the airport and we used to go inside and have a look. We used to go on the shuttle which was like a train that linked the airports I used to love it so much when we used it. Long time ago I'm 36 now. I searched myself for this as so many memories as a kid myself too and this also was one of them. And I'm glad I found this statement good luck buddy
