Ian Allan ABC London Airport : Maurice Allward and Roy McLeavy : Ian Allan Ltd. : London : 1960

            The Third Edition of the Ian Allan ABC of London Airport that describes Heathrow Airport, the organisation and operation, as well as the airlines and airliners that served the airport in 1960. Written by Allward and McLeavy this was one of the 'spin-offs' of the famous railway, bus and coach "ABC" fleet guides that became so popular in the 1950s and '60s and that helped make Ian Allan a name in transport publishing.

The splendid cover is by V. Welch (Vic Welch)  and shows, I think, one of BEA - British European Airway's - "new" Vickers Vanguard in the company's then new livery and that was built in 1959 and used as a demonstrator before entering the fleet in 1961. Below the central Control Tower and the 1955 Queen's Building amidst the runways can be seen.
