My pleasure, Bill. Glad you enjoyed it. Actually, I got the vehicle =
parking details wrong as I=E2=80=99ve just found an article I wrote some =
years ago which clearly shows how it really was. THREE parallel lines of =
cars (not ONE) working outwards from the runway centrelines, with two =
single lines on each runway edge. A lot more pictures as well.
=20
FWIW I=E2=80=99m currently occupied in compiling all these later stories =
into another book as a sequel to the one I published in 1998 called =
=E2=80=98In The Shadow of my Father=E2=80=99. When it=E2=80=99s all =
done, it=E2=80=99ll appear (hopefully) via Amazon self-publishing as a =
print on demand. I might also re-publish the 1998 book in the same way =
at the same time. Originally, I did 1,000 copies and they sold out =
within a month. As the printer was still in business, he ran off another =
7,000 copies of which only about 10 are still left. Can=E2=80=99t do =
that now as the guy who did the original 8,000 later sold his business, =
retired to live in Spain and died about two months after relocating.
=20
So if anyone out there can tell me the ins and outs of uploading a book =
manuscript to Amazon I=E2=80=99ll be eternally grateful as that sort of =
cyber-tech is usually way outside my pay grade and competence!

Dave Northrup wanted to know if the former WW2 airfield I mentioned in =
my last post was still in existence and if so, does it have any =
particular use?
=20
The answer is Yes to both queries, but not as an airfield. The original =
WW2 hangars are still there and very much in use by various companies =
involved in distribution logistics. The former Royal Air Force Control =
Tower at the north end has long been converted into a private house.=20
=20
Attached (? Hopefully) is an aerial picture of the airfield layout as it =
used to be. When in use as a storage park for newly built Standard and =
Triumph cars, all three runways (still just visible in the pic) were =
used for storage with cars parked in two parallel lines down the runway =
centres with two further single lines on each runway edge. Mostly, they =
were parked by model and wherever possible by colour within each model =
group =E2=80=93 always assuming there was available space. This overall =
layout gave two free carriageways the full length of each runway for =
unobstructed vehicle movements in each direction. The runway intersects =
were obviously not used for vehicle parking.
=20
If you=E2=80=99ve ever wondered where the rust on your Triumph first =
started, you=E2=80=99re now looking at the location!
