Airworks hangar was on the north side of the airfield and to reach it
aircraft were taxyed down what is now the main entrance to the glider club
across the road then via a concrete taxyway through a ploughed field.
This area was later to become a scrap yard with dozens of aircraft, mainly
Sabres and CF100's as I recall. We had no problem entering and used to go
around the aircraft collecting the c/n plates! Still have a couple somewhere
I think! Best regards, Stuart Marshall
