Actually, once the 707-320B became widely available to the airlines, the usefulness of Gander Airport ended because the 707-320B could fly non-stop between New York City and London non-stop year-round.

(Actually, even late in the propeller airliner era, Gander was obselete by 1957. The Douglas DC-7C Seven Seas and the Lockheed L-1649 Starliner achieved the ability to fly London to New York City westbound year-round.)

Sometime within the last two decades, I flew in/out of White Plains. It looked like a series of Quonset Huts left over from World War II-- comfortable and fairly modern looking on the inside, but surprising old in its outward look given its proximity to New York City and IBM Hq.

Most of the people in our company were in sales and liked the proximity and night life of midtown Manhattan, complete with very expensive hotel rooms slightly larger than deluxe broom closets.

I was there for actual work and needed a place for real work and rest, so got a spacious room for about half what they paid not far from a short train ride into Midtown. I remember it mainly because the company beancounter questioned me about how I'd paid so little for a hotel in NYC when I turned in my expense report.
