Just for the record, building 79 was used for vehicle storage. |

From what I've read elsewhere (subject to confirmation) the old mobile cinema coach appears to be one of the vehicles stored in there.
Obviously irrelevant compared to the people involved. _________________ 1976 Vauxhall HP Firenza, 1976 Vauxhall Sportshatch (x2), 1986 Audi coupe quattro, 2000 Audi TT |

I found this video about the mobile cinema that may have been lost in the hanger fire.
The whole sorry business is too sad for words.

Many years ago I won a Transport Trust Award and we went to the presentation at the Roundhouse in London. We were sat on a table with the chap who found and restored the Mobile Cinema, obviously we chatted a lot as we were both very like minded. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

It is hard to see past the tragic loss of life but I think we would all like to know what else has been ruined and what, if anything, can be salvaged from this disaster. |

I understand that an arrest has been made, suggesting it was an arson case again. If it transpires this is down to the greed of developer profits, with the loss of life, I hope the maximum sentence is applied, and further planning forbidden. _________________ Daimler Fifteen 1934 (now sold)
