Pretty interesting . Slag from Radstock's batches were used as hard-core for the new runways built my father tells American trucks would continually be visiting the heaps.
Stuart Mitchell tells me "The aircraft depicted on the front cover is a Westland Whirlwind . Built at Westlands in Yeovil and powered by two Rolls Royce Peregrine engines , only 114 examples were built and only equipped three RAF squadrons . They were operated from Colerne in Wiltshire and it’s satellite Airfield at Charmy Down just outside Bath . Used mostly in a ground attack role on the enemy occupied continent."
