Yes it was, not sure if its still there but there was a boozer called the Airport, Currans had their munitions factory there before moving to Curran Road, middle of the road politics, just facts!!. :biggrin:Quote:

I'd never realised that so many bombs had been dropped on Cardiff. I mean, if someone said 50-100 bombs had been dropped, that would seem quite a lot, but bloody over 2,000!:yikes:Quote:
