With reference to the rows of buildings I can recall that in 1967 the Operations Department of Autair/Court relocated from the Autair Hangar in to some of these buildings which were on the hillside. The place was like a rabbit warren,dark and dank. The airline's catering department was also located in the same block. We all felt and probably looked like troglodytes.

Later most of the Ops Dept moved into the old terminal building. Our Movement Control Office was on the corner right next to the ramp and naturally had superb views over the airfield. I remember Summer football matches on the stands here at four oclock in the morning while staff waited for the one-elevens to return from Spain. Fat chance today!
