Mysteries seen from the air

Wikipedia's page on [[RAF Northolt]] states "In days before such navigational aides as instrument landing system (ILS) and the global positioning system (GPS), the letters NO (for Northolt) and HR (for Heathrow) were painted on two gasometers situated on the approach to each airfield, one at Southall for the approach into Heathrow and one at South Harrow for the approach to Northolt in an effort to prevent recurrence of such errors." - this seems to imply that they're no longer there, and certainly I cannot find any evidence from a quick Google Maps search. The Southall gasometer seems to still have LH on it... http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=...0103&encType=1 |
