You've all got it completely wrong.

Many years ago when ATC was all part of the Civil Service one of the top Neddies tasked with finding a new site looked at the Map of RAF bases. Coming from East Anglia and knowing what a nice area that was he quickly realised that RAF West Raynham was the place to be. Unfortunatley the secretary taking the minutes misheard the chosen place and wrote down West Drayton. That is how you all ended up in a very grotty council estate.
