    Stores Distribution Park 5 Edgbaston Royal Flying Corps

    Thanks. I am beginning to think that Waterworks Lane was at the end of Waterworks Road, near the junction with Carlyle Rd. The 5 SDP could be where the Omnibus Works were constructed in the 1920s.

    Stores Distribution Park 5 Edgbaston Royal Flying Corps

    Thanks so much. This is a great lead. An airman who served with TE Lawrence ( of Arabia) in Aqaba in 1917 was sent 5 SDP which I think is this one Edgbaston. The airman had family in Cotteridge which is perhaps why he was sent here in 1919
