- I feel very fortunate to have be part of Heathrow for the past 70 years carrying out a job I see less as work and more as a passion.
- 84-year-old Dennis started working at Heathrow as a messenger boy aged 14 and has since been witness to Heathrow's own journey over the last 70 years dedicatedly documenting the journeys of those flying through the airport each year.
