In its early years what is now Heathrow Airport was the Great West Aerodrome, sometimes known as Heathrow Aerodrome. ==Before 1920== * Heathrow was a hamlet, an isolated row of cottages on the northwestern edge of the historic highwaymen's lair of Hounslow Heath, and roughly where Terminal 3 is today.〔Longford Residents' Association, (archived copy ) at the Wayback Machine〕 ''See Heathrow (hamlet) for more about its history.'' * About 1410: The first known mention of Heathrow (spelled ''La Hetherewe''). *1915: Fairey Aviation started assembling and flight testing its aircraft from Northolt Aerodrome. * During the First World War, Hounslow Heath Aerodrome was established as a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) airfield, about south-east of Heathrow, and was the only London aerodrome with customs facilities in 1919 and 1920. After it closed, Croydon Airport became the principal London Airport.〔Sherwood, Philip (1999)〕〔Sherwood, Tim (1999)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Heathrow Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
