The work's main Fire Station was at the bottom of the hill and the hill was short and steep leading up to the Flying Ground. We drove up it in 1972 and the A7,s were lined up along the dual carriageway at the top.

Hedd Wyn Jones messaged me because whilst he can read the forum, he can't post due to registration problems on the A7F site.
He sent this photo saying that from his distant time as a student in Birmingham he agrees with Les that the old test hill is the access road between Windsor Avenue and Chadwick Close
