    cheers lee

    are those the tunnels of legend....bare bodyshells were wheeled from one side to the other through the damp tunnels, so all shells emerged slightly rusty befor they got painted?

    or is that utter nonsense!

    A lot of the tunnels are from a WW2 'shadow' factory that was used to build aero engines.

    IIRC the bare shells were wheeled across the road to the paintshop ( in all types of weather ) 'cos the new overhead bridges weren't built wide enough for them

    Excellent website. Very very good photos. Love stuff like that. Bet it was amazing going around it. Been in lots of usually busy buildings out of hours, and old buildings too and find things like this really interesting.
