I recall being called out (late 70's) to ferry an Electra from En to ML that had diverted due fog.
Taxied out for 35 expecting a quick t/o and left base for 27..but not so.
Trip took 50 mins !
Must have been one of the last to use the Bend. Lobbed in there in Nov of 62in RHR a 182, to drop someone off. The E-W rwy was all that was useable and I recall taxiing to the eastern end of the rwy which disappeared under a factory.
From memory, construction may have already started on the WGB.
Really urinated off that I never took as many pics as I should have.
PS...anyone recall the BOAC comet that landed short on 35 at EN..yes 35!
Sixties sometime I think. The wheel marks were there for a long time . Cared for I s'pose by the groundsmen,
