Memories come flooding back each time despite the vast changes to the original site, I can still visualise all the manufacturing facilities, the wing and fuselage assembly lines and the vast flight sheds on the other side of the circuit where the hotel stands now, enormous hangars erected specifically for the VC10 with its high tailplane - they were colloquially known as the Abbey and the Cathedral.
