. . . except that you could smell the steelworks and ICI 30 miles out to sea
A smell that is long gone (along with the jobs) but it all came back to me when I visited Shanghai.

You missed out 1261 Squadron, Air Training Corps, but no doubt the cadets were invisible to the real Air Force. We were however the last light blue unit to operate from the station.
