13th August 2008. Lancaster Road on the Carnaby Industrial Estate. A perfectly straight, two mile long road which is now home to commercial units. 65 years ago this was a wartime Emergency Landing Ground for crippled bombers limping back from raids over Germany. Literally the first bit of clear ground once the North Sea had been crossed. Other roads on the estate are named 'Halifax', 'Wellington' and 'Merlin Way'.
