All kinds of rumours about Prestwick airport, but they are just that; rumours.

Who knows Al, but I remember back in 1991 during Gulf War#1 they stored a vast number of caravans with blacked out windows to be used for transporting the casualties! had things not gone in our favour. Anyone else corroborate this?

Other Prestwick facts: the Palace of Engineering from the Empire Exhibition is still in use as a BAE hangar at Prestwick airport.
