HEATHROW has noted the arrival of the school holiday season with the national finals of the 2005 BAA Trolley Challenge at the Heathrow Airport Visitors Centre. Thirty-eight students from 12 schools around the UK showed airport bosses how they would design airport trolleys if given the chance. The young contestants demonstrated a range of revolutionary ideas to help tackle problems encountered by the 141m passengers using UK airports every year, including how to get heavy luggage from the car, taxi, or train to check-in, how to take care of the children and to help the disabled, how to improve security and how to negotiate potential obstacles such as escalators. Our photo shows the young team from the Staniland Primary School, Boston, Lincolnshire and their design.
