You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

It was 140ft long, had a bar, traffic office, a restaurant, cafe and veranda with sliding glass windows. The surveyor was Harold Brown, who I assume was responsible too for the control tower which also was a second hand building. In its airport location, it was re-erected in 1936, having formally been a WW1 hospital building which is probably why the museum knocked it down, poor old thing was knackerd!!.

Woo hoo, first one right. Im not too good on the Military ones, being a civvie boy. When was it knocked down? I remember the museum in the late 80's but am struggling to remember this building? I think Weston is a massive waste of a brilliantly placed airfield.

Have a go with this one. If you post a list of every airfield in the UK and expect to win, forget it, one airfield at a time please.
