Brisbane Airport's longest serving employee celebrates 50 years on the tarmac
From smoking on planes to spotting debris as it flies off aircraft, one man has seen it all when it comes to life at Brisbane Airport. Over 50 years airside operations officer John Hansford has seen airlines come and go, as well as being part of moving the airport from Eagle Farm to its current location. "When I first started at Eagle Farm we did everything," he told ABC Radio Brisbane's Steve Austin. "We had the workshops there and we would make everything from scratch — it was like a little city and a big family." Mr Hansford has also been a front-row observer to how air travel and behaviour has adapted to societal norms. "People would come off the planes smoking," he recalled of the early years. "You weren't supposed to smoke inside the security fence, and even though there were no-smoking signs on the fence, they still did." Full Story https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-...years/10834250
