The Apron Control Tower which has been a feature of BHX's skyline since the current Terminal opened in 1984 finally succumbed to the
demolition team working on the new International Pier....
.
.... being pulled apart by a "claw"....
.
.... and loaded into contractors trucks and removed from the site.
By the end of the day only skeleton of the tower remained.....
.... and BHX's skyline had been changed again as work continueson the completion of the new International Pier
.
The same view in 1988 when the Apron Control Tower used to
dominate the skyline and the aircraft came from a earlier age!
.
Another view in 1991 after the opening of Eurohub - now Terminal 2
