That’s fine, I know exactly where to look now. Thanks a lot.
Yes, went to the Markets, and the Air Races – saw Prince William (?) of Gloucester crash. We road our bikes (illegally) and I learned to drive (illegally) there. My mother was at Manor Farm, linking the airfield and the Common. My father had a smallholding that they knocked down to build the airfield before the war. Promised to pay him £100 “when they could”, which wasn’t till the mid-fifties. Now, they’re paying megabucks to surrounding owners for the expansion.
The talk is: 8 million passengers per year. More than B’ham International. We peasants are revolting.
