I know The Eastwood High School did before the new running track was constructed on the lower field at Kent Elms.

What with the airport being a fighter airfield during the war I’m pleased to think that SBC and Stoberts made an extensive inquiry as to if there where any dangerous ordinance on and around the fields where now is the extended runway.

Maybe this is why Eastwood High School felt the need to check the surrounding area?

We await jayman's vitriolic response to this story with bated breath...
I fail to see why this story warrants any kind of response of that nature
as on this occasion there is some actual 'news' to the story.

Max, I myself have somewhat lost the thread here. We were discussing unexploded bombs not new jobs
