KLM definitely flew out of T4 in the 1990s, they used a mix of 737s and Airbus A310s at peak time. NLM used Fokker 28s to Rotterdam before they became KLM Cityhopper.

Paris was from T4, as has already been ascertained, a lot of 767s got used during peak times. When BA first took delivery of the 777, they operated to Paris on crew training routes, I got a staff travel ticket to Paris specifically to get a flight on a 777.

I remember flying into LHR one day from Düsseldorf and due to high winds, we landed on runway 23 (long since withdrawn) which was right next to the new Terminal 4, must have been about 1988/9.

Terminal 1, I only remember the large domestic departure lounge with the multiple gate doors. Wasn’t there a lounge up some stairs from that large departure area at one time? I was mostly travelling on staff standby tickets so never got to experience any of the old lounges. Those were the good old days of Boeing 757s up to Newcastle and everyone getting served a meal in economy, on a 50 minute flight.

I also remember the aluminium tubes that Aer Lingus used and BA did towards the end of T1.

When T5 opened, I was still using T1 as some of us were travelling up to Glasgow working on the new ATC centre at Prestwick. We switched to BA and T5 after BMI lost one of my friends hold baggage on the way up to Glasgow. Debbie McGee was on the same flight and I told my mate that the ghost of Paul Daniels had spirited his case away; “and that’s magic”.
