According to the Real Buddy Holly Story, BUddy either flew into the London Airport or Heathrow. I think it's the London Airport that he arrived in and Vi Petty is just confusing the two, as you can clearly see London on the sign in the background on Norm Petty's video footage. Would someone please back me up....I'm too lazy to doublecheck.

I haven't played with anyone since that I could play with as well, because I learned to play drums with what Buddy played." -Jerry Allison "No ma'am, I don't have time."-Buddy Holly |

you know, yo're one of my favorite mates in the board, you know, why. I think that all the confusion about this questions is over when I can present the exclusive review in the internet about the new "BUDDY HOLLY BOOK" about the 1958 U.K. tour, written by Jim Carr, president of the HOLLY International Fan Club in Doncaser, England. There's no doubt about it, I'll tell you the truth. Cheers from the other side of the planet from Buddy's German buddy HANS |

Have a look ! On the 12 th of September the book will be published and I'm sure you all want it. No problem, I'll write a review on my site as soon as I get the first copy from Jim Carr, the author and president of the HOLLY INTERNATIONAL FAN CLUB (I'm a die-hard member for a long time). I sent a mail to Jim to tell me how to obtain the book worldwide. As soon as I get answer, I'll publish all the names and locations of the representatives for the countries, where you can order.

Maybe it doesn´t matter anymore, but London Airport I S Heathrow.
Nowadayds The Greater London Area is served by LONDON HEATHROW (LHR), LONDON GATWICK (LGW), STANSTED (STN), LUTON (LTN) and, to a lesser extent, SOUTHEND (SEN) airports, but in the late 50´s only one airport was dedicated to scheduled, international air traffic for passengers and that was LONDON HEATHROW. Hopefully this will clear any doubts you may have. Brgs Peter the Swede |
