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!

Confess John, how many full throttle runs did you make on those runways with new cars on either
side, and which models did you "test"??

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?

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. 

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 - 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.

If you've ever wondered where the rust on your Triumph first started, you're now looking at the
location!
