It doesn't answer your question (I'm sorry) simoncorbett, but I'm taking the opportunity of reminiscing my Solihull days and watching an IBERIA Connie landing on 06 from my bedroom window during the 1966 World Cup event.
Did a few landings on 24 myself (as pax) in Viscounts, Fk-27s Shorts 360 (BMA) and Brymon DHC-6.
I know that the runway was still available for use in 2002. Is it still technically available now days?
