点评:Gander International Airport was a busy place in the 1950s and 1960s. To cater for the airport passengers, the Gander International Lounge was opened in 1959. This mid-century modernist style lounge was closed after jet planes no longer needed a refueling stop at Gander. It was hidden for many years, but was reopened to the public just two years ago. It's like stepping back in time. Note the mural "Flight and its Allegories" by Ken Lochhead, the Come From Away piano below the mural, and the exhibit of airport furniture.
The mezzanine had an exhibit of the airport through the decades. Queen Elizabeth II opened the new airport in 1959 and signed the guest book. One section was devoted to its role on September 11, 2001, and the musical "Come From Away".
Rhonda gave an excellent tour of the airport lounge. She also described her experiences on September 11 when she was working at the airport.
翻译:20 世纪 50 年代和 60 年代,甘德国际机场非常繁忙。为了满足机场乘客的需求,甘德国际休息室于 1959 年开放。这个中世纪现代风格的休息室在喷气式飞机不再需要在甘德加油后关闭。它隐藏了很多年,但两年前才重新向公众开放。这就像回到过去。请注意 Ken Lochhead 的壁画“飞行及其寓言”、壁画下方的 Come From Away 钢琴和机场家具展览。
夹层有一个机场几十年来的展览。伊丽莎白二世女王于 1959 年为新机场揭幕,并签署了宾客名册。其中一个部分专门介绍它在 2001 年 9 月 11 日的作用,以及音乐剧“Come From Away”。
Rhonda 带我们参观了机场休息室。她还描述了她在机场工作时在 9 月 11 日的经历。
