Waltham Wonders...

All this Gannet stuff and reference to White Waltham airfield reminds me of regular train journeys to and from from Reading in the 1960's when I am sure that the only Fairey Rotodyne ever made was parked on the edge of the airfield for a long time. It looked so revolutionary in those days that it seemed a great shame that it did not 'take off' as it were. I have read that it was just too noisy. I wonder what else lurks in the long grass at Waltham!
