Does anyone know which alternative sites were surveyed before the selection of Swanwick for LATCC II / EERC / NERC?
The only snippet I've found is from Flight 6 May 1989 stating that for logisitical reasons the candidate sites had to be within two hours drive of West Drayton.
A survey of LATCC staff that year found that 62% "expressed a willingness" to move to the Southampton / Portsmouth area, but what else was on the survey...?
Unfortuntely the trail then goes cold until 1994 when the new building was revealed at the former site of the Bursledon Brickworks in Swanwick.
