Edit summary for Gloster Aircraft. The reference to Moreton Valence was slightly misleading. Moreton Valence airfield was transferred to Gloster Aircraft shortly after the 2nd. world war. I standing at the end of the runway on the day that the Javelin taxi tests became the first flight test. I was brought up in Gloucester and at that time worked for Brockworth Engineering Company as a laboratory assistant. BEC were the development arm of the makers of the Sapphire jet engine which powered the Javelin.
