Conan the Librarian

Looking down from the Stroud to Cheltenham Road as it descends from Painswick it is still possible to see part of the runway and the taxi-way that joined the runway to the flight sheds. The old engine test beds are also still in evidence. I worked there for five years as an apprentice in the early fifties and I find it a sad sight. I was shocked to see recently that the last of the hangars is now no more than a pile of rubble- Vandalism!.
