ATC;

Woodvale is one of the few places on the west coast of the UK that has an RAF presence. It is next to Altcar training area, the Marines were flying night ex's there not long ago. Chinooks have been known to slip in over the fence crossing the railway from the sea. Quiet transit route from NI. In house Auxiliary squadron re-inforcing an RAF presence. Handy for Morecambe Bay gas rigs.

Liverpool, too small and constrained by the location.
Woodford, just about to become a housing estate
Sealand, civil industrial estate
Waton and Salmebury, VGS moved to Woodvale when security was raised.
