Oh yes, it used to be London's main international hub! There was a fascinating bit on Britain's Greatest Machines with Chris Barrie where he walked around in the old terminal and took a flight on a Dragon Rapide. It was only closed to international scheduled flights in 1959:<br/><br/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croydon_airport (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croydon_airport)<br/><br/>If you flew to London back in 1937, you'd either land at Croydon, or near Southend in a flying boat.<br/><br/>
