GAS PIPE STORAGE

GAS PIPE STORAGE was created by WJT
In the early 70s as pipelines were being laid across the country to deliver the fruits of North Sea gas, many airfields were used to store the thousands of pipes needed. I particularly remember huge stockpiles on places like North Killingholme and Spilsby. I am sure there were stockpiles at many more airfields.

I found this photo on a stall at Truckfest, showing such a stockpile and a fleet of BRS lorries engaged in moving them. Anyone know where the pic was taken?

I really am just guessing here, could it be somewhere like Tarrant Rushton?

Tarrant Rushton never had that much concrete?
