Hmmm Technically your correct - the civilian parts are North Tidworth and South
Tidworth the army fills in between and the whole are is known as Tidworth... even
the village signs say Tidworth. The Assembly plant actually used to be just over the
hill on the road to Ludgershall on the right just past the engineer barracks... It
was used for many years as a Storage depot and the last time I went past the place
there was only one building left with a hercules/andover simulator in it to practice
loading on.
