A little distraction

I've been having a look at EGAD with a view to putting something together that lines up with my photo tiles. I cam across this little (ok 19MB) PDF with a short history of the airfield. I was surprised to learn that Miles built aircraft at the site for a few years in the late 40's. Also Silver City had a freighter run from Ards to Castle Kennedy for a while. Anyway, you might enjoy it.
