In 1955, or was it 56, the queen was flying into Barrow and the corporation had to clean the runways. I was a "sweepers mate" that normally brushed the dirt from the pavements into the gutters. Trouble is there are no pavements on the runways so we had to spend the day sunbathing in the long grass.
What a hardship for a sixteen year old doing a vacation job! You picture takes me back.
Although it's just an airport picture for dropping off but there would be airport parking area as well to park vehicles out there. stansted airport cheap parking
