HERON QUAY, which adjoins Canary Wharf in London”s docklands now has a plaque back in place to commemorate the late captain Harry Gee”s test landing of a DHC Dash 7 in June 1982 and June 1983 which paved the way for London City Airport. Reg Ward, the former chief executive of the LDDC performed the unveiling ceremony last week (as previewed in ABTN) and listened whilst Dockland Light Railway (DLR) chairman Ian Brown confirmed 1100 on Thursday 15 December for the first official train. In the meantime the actual track all the way to the airport is now in place with testing beginning sometime in August.
