Faro Airport
Faro Airport
the designs for the airport development look really nice, this promotional video goes back over the 50 years life & evolution of the airport, it's nice so I thought I'd share it,
I started coming in 1983 & can remember the old shed to the right of the current building that we had to clear immigration/ collect luggage through, good old days anybody go back further?

Re: Faro Airport
Brings back memories although I can't go back quite that far sunman! But will car park 4 still be deserted though?!!
Re: Faro Airport
1983 was my first visit here too. There was an old Constellation plane which served as a bar and the car hire reps sat on the wall outside. The fuselage of the Constellation was moved to an area off the EN125 and was visible for some years when driving back to the airport before eventually disappearing.

I go back to 1981 and recall the uneven floor in the arrivals area and the baggage trollies that needed the strength of a lion to steer.
On a recent holiday in Crete I am sure the trollies there were Faro cast-offs - they were ancient. It was like turning the clock back 30+ years.

Thats nothing!
I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when I got home, our Dad would kill me, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah."
Ta dah!
