Nah I've been to Chris Wilkinson's.. it was definately somewhere nearer
Newbury. I've been going through my scrapyard photo's and I can remember
Chris's.. he has/had that outbuilding full of ww2 spares. incidentally is
he still in business? I seem to recall something about his yard being
compulsorily purchased.
