Southampton went under Eastleigh in c.1981 not under Basingstoke.


Doh! I meant Eastleigh, sorry, I was thinking about the coming works at
Basingstoke and it stuck in my mind.


I think there was maybe one to be located at Basingstoke or Eastleigh
but also I think in neither case would it have been the 1966/1967 box
directly - but a replacement or considerably expanded facility.


I'm pretty certain Eastleigh was one of the '13'.
