Passport To The Past/Elmdon Airport & 1930s Art Deco Terminal Building

Aviation and classic car enthusiast Gary Lewis makes a nostalgic return visit to Elmdon Airport and travels 'back in time' to take a closer look at the original 1930s Art Deco grade 2 listed terminal building and control tower, and the airport's past connection with the legendary WW2 aircraft the Lancaster bomber. Filmed before and after the Corona virus lockdown restrictions and governmental guidelines and often in very challenging weather conditions the video is a heartfelt 'eyeopener' that will hopefully be both entertaining and informative to help increase the awareness of the historical importance of the original terminal building itself, a true 'hidden gem' of Birmingham's aviation heritage past. Gary said "since virtually retiring myself from organising events and singing in 2018 ...its given me the chance to refocus on two of my other interests....aviation and classic cars...this video is a  'labour of love' combination of the two." "The biggest challenge faced during its filming in January/ February and early March was the seemingly endless strong gusts of wind that blew across the airfield at Elmdon, 2020 being particularly bad resulting in hours of footage being totally unusable...due to either camera movement or sound issues...a small amount (even with our best efforts made during filming to eliminate it ) still remains noticeable in the finished film...l just hope it doesn't distract too much from our viewers enjoyment watching it " Posted 81 years to the day to mark the anniversary of its official opening by HRH the Duchess of Kent on the 8th July 1939.
