Does anyone have memories or photos of Mundole, on the boundary of the WW2 Forres airfield? This was an extension to the peri track, of narrow tarmac with a turning circle and hangar at either end. It still exists to this day and I understand it was used by Sir Hector Laing (latterly Lord Laing of Dunphail) of United Biscuits to commute from his home in Dunphail to the office near Leavesden or Denham? He had two or three King Airs over the 1970s and I am fascinated to know how the heck he got one of those in to such a narrow short strip with so many obstacles.

And this was his aeroplane, with personalised registration...
