Gatwick airport

Of course one way in or out of Sussex is Gatwick Airport with it's air , road and rail connections. Gatwick Airport has momories for me as my claim to fame has to be the only person to lay down in the middle of the runway and read the "Amateur Photographer" magazine.

Thanks so much for adding pics and information Vince.  I suppose I should have visited Crawley as I have family there, but I couldn't fit it into the route. I have flown into Gatwick Airport and also taken the coach from Heathrow to Gatwick.  Great service that and the coach travels through a surprising amount of scenic countryside even though it's motorway.

Well, I can't put a picture of Crawley because there aren't any!!!! Can anyone fill the gap??  So I will add a picture of Faygate which is close to Crawley.  This is Faygate Place once the home of Lord & Lady Hawke where my mother was housekeeper/companion for over 20 years
