LONDON.- Following the amazing success of the Heathrow Terminal One contents auction in April, a further limited release of items and memorabilia will take place at a dedicated auction on September 18. And you can log bids right now.

Such was the demand for items in the first sale that many bidders were left disappointed. But now the auctioneers, CA Global Partners, have decided to meet that demand by providing another chance to secure iconic pieces from what was once the busiest airport terminal in Europe, handling 9 million passengers a year.

Highlights this time round in a sale limited to just 150 lots include a selection of the iconic black and yellow signs from inside the terminal, featuring directional signs for departure gates, baggage reclaim, check in and many more.

One of the surprises of the April 21 auction was how popular the signs for the toilets proved, and there are more available this time, alongside modern terminal seating, as well as a 6ft wide, 4ft 8in high colourful metal map of the terminal check-in area.

One of the big success stories of the previous auction was the group of illuminated glass Terminal One Wing design desks, constructed from elements of the terminal building itself. Added to these retro chic pieces now is a specially designed coffee table, which is expected to attract a great deal of bidding.

“We were delighted with the global response to our sale on April 21,” said David Brindley, European Managing Partner for auctioneers CA Global Partners. “To say the event was a phenomenon would be an understatement, but we are also conscious that however much there was on offer, a large number of bidders still walked away disappointed because of the level of competition for lots.

“We hope this second bite of the cherry will enable some of them to secure a little piece of aviation history with a lot of retro appeal after all.”

Terminal One was opened in 1968 and formally dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II in April 1969. It was then the biggest short-haul terminal in Western Europe.

A new pier (the so-called Europier) was added in the 1990s, which increased the capacity of the terminal, catering for widebody aircraft. In 2005, a substantial redesign and redevelopment of Terminal One was completed, which saw the opening of the new Eastern Extension, doubling the departure lounge in size and creating additional seating and retail space.

Terminal One finally closed on June 29, 2015 as part of Heathrow’s upgrade, 50 years on from its first opening, creating the opportunity to hold the jumbo of all auctions.

CA Global Partners, specialists in the disposal of assets for wholesale and industrial clients, masterminded the series of sales.

“A sale series such as this, comprising the contents and infrastructure of an entire major airport terminal is unprecedented, to say the least,” added Brindley.
