well done that man - yes - the Broad Walk - part of Project Python - they decided about 1963 that they probably wouldn't be able to ship 4000 civil servants to the big hole near Bath in time and that anyway the accuracy of Russian missiles made it a sitting duck . The plan was to disperse decision taking (and of course decision takers) across the UK. This involved using an Andover to collect said decision takers plus the Royal Family from C London in a rush. They would be flown to the W isles where they would use the "Britannia" and 3 Cal-Mac Ferries (specifically built to have anti radiation features) to disperse up the W Coast. The trees were cut down under some specious story about "disease"
