I think it's much the same as any other Lambda, but it depends if it has its undertray fitted. Regards, John Seems to have slightly more in 2006. Title: Re: Airway Post by: ColinMarr on 05 April, 2013, 09:12:15 PM The link that Richard gave in the first post included some good stuff about Joseph Emberton the architect who designed the Airway. Emberton did quite a bit of work in Blackpool including the Pleasure Beach, which has recently been restored to some of its former glory – see photo below. Apparently he went on to design roller-coaster rides and related fun things elsewhere.
Emberton is not a common name and when John Turner was under the care of Professor Mark Emberton at University College London Hospital he asked him if he was related – and indeed he was (and still is) Joseph’s Grandson. Colin |
