Trevor going back to his welsh roots?
Discussion
When Les Edgar spoke at the Neil Garner Open day he said that the new facility would be close to a race track so that the new owner had the potential to drive the car under supervision on a track as part of the delivery experience. It's a bit of a drive to Castle Combe unless they will be able to use the runway complex as a test track?

Lles? 
I se it's also made the BBC and ITN sites too, good PR nonetheless for the marque. Though Autocar would have got the scoop, but it is as I suspect still just speculation. I would love to know where the other two potential sites are, perhaps one is near Cosworth and hence Silverstone to satisfy the the track aspect.
The village of St Athan is next to RAF St Athan east camp where number 4 School of Technical Training was based. RAF St Athan west camp was always for big repairs of aircraft and I think it is now called MOD St Athan?
The report says Aston are going to use the large hangar (presumably previously used for AWACS and Tankers) and that TVR will be just a few miles away. So maybe not on the airfield then?
Brings back many memories of early mechanic and technician training there. Happy days and plenty of this

I live in St Athan and it`s great news for us, my C/V is going in to Aston and TVR. The report says Aston are going to use the large hangar (presumably previously used for AWACS and Tankers) and that TVR will be just a few miles away. So maybe not on the airfield then?

. In my day it was Double Diamond, Blue Nun and chicken in the basket.
I spent an inordinate amount of time driving my Vauxhall Viva GT down to Barry Island and promoting good relations with the more mature local ladies in the late night bars - the true meaning of grab-a-granny. It was not so much sticky carpets as sticky fingers.
Back on topic, if I lived down there I think I too would be sending in my CV like SteveJ.
