I am sure that you are right, but I don't think that Continental was coming to the UK then? AA had their DFW flight and Delta was there as well.
CO started IAH-LGW flights in 1985 and added EWR-LGW after buying PE. Also maybe to CLE at some points.
In the 70s and 80s I think there were quite a few LGW flights from the U.S.
I believe --
TW to STL.
PE to EWR
EA to MIA (and possibly CO for awhile)
AA to DFW, RDU and then STL after buying TW
NW to MSP, DTW and at one point maybe BOS?
DL to ATL and I think CVG
Braniff on DFW before AA
Air Florida - maybe from MIA and MSY
National before being bought by PA
There was an Admiral's Club there for awhile as I recall.
