Synopsis
Three-part series charting the development of Britain's airports and how they have transformed the country, in the process creating both freedom and fear.
The final part takes us from the open, easily accessible airport of the late 1960s to present day security procedures and climate protest. Using rare archive and eye-witness accounts, it reveals the events that have shaped our experience and view of the modern airport. Contributors include Lord Foster, Jonathan Glancey and Will Self.
