Large hanger southside
The Evening Post is reporting that the large hangar under construction southside is for the exclusive use of Mr James Dyson,he of vacuum cleaner fame.He has recently taken possession of a £40 million Gulfstream 650.The £2 million hangar will house the Gulfstream,helicopter and other executive jets.There will be a full time staff of fifteen to maintain the aircraft.
With reference to M.V and others mention of Weston airport.When the Bristol Brabazon was on the drawing board there was a proposal for the runway to be lengthened and construction to take place at the airport.However a survey revealed the subsoil to be unsuitable for development.In its it time it did play host to a production line for Bristol Freighters.Bristol Britannias flew in for fitting out and on one occasion a Handley page Victor flew in for work,but that did need the telegraph poles on Oldmixon Rd railway bridge being taken down.Better stop this reminiscencing or I'll get shunted off to the spotter thread.
OOPs sorry M.V by the time I composed this Piece you already posted.
