A few years ago I was delayed by a fatal collision on the M40 and arrived at a BA check in desk seven minutes before scheduled departure. I made it onto the flight. I don't know if we left on time...

It hasn't been an airfield for a very long time - the course of the runway is now the M62. The hangers have been demolished very recently, having been used for storage for a long time. The Ministry...
