On the top floors were the development engineers, mods section, drawing office, etc. I briefly worked on the 4th floor, right at the end of my time at BA.
Oh, and it had a
Paternoster!
It was your reference to the 28
R threshold that had me fooled ...
I just about remember Viscount House, your mention of the Paternoster lift is what jogged my memory.
As appentices we were taken to the library and told to help ourselves as the building was being emptied, this much have been around 1993 - 1994.
I've no idea when they demolished the building as I transferred down to LGW not long afterwards.
I still have the books !
