British Aviation
Preservation Council
STOPPING THE ROT CONFERENCE 2003
What should we do with historic aviation buildings is a question that is
asked from time to time. As part of its contribution to the 100 Years of
Flight celebrations, the British Aviation Preservation Council is organising
a conference at Gatwick on the
RE-USE OF HISTORIC AVIATION BUILDINGS.
Fokker F.XII of the first British Airways Ltd at the Beehive, Gatwick. The
conference is in the new BT building next to the Beehive.
The Conference at Gatwick will examine a number of case studies. Most of the
examples are museums - and success stories - but they have not been all easy
projects. However, the museum is not always the answer, an excellent example
being the pre-war passenger terminal at Gatwick, the Beehive - and the
subject of one of the presentations.
The Conference will take place on Saturday 11th October in the new BT
building next to the Beehive at Gatwick and will include:- The Gatwick
Beehive
