In Windscreen magazine number 91, John Marchant also makes reference to No. 75 Armoured Vehicle Depot at Turweston airfield near Brackley. This was a satellite site for Silverstone and was used to store thousands of AFV's. "These included Lynx Scout Cars, M5A1 Stuarts, C15TA, half tracks and Carriers of all types". "Some vehicles were new and still boxed, whilst others were driven the six miles from Brackley station".

" Much of the armour in Pounds came from Turweston as did many of the T16's and Windsor Carriers in collectors hands today, being sold out of service during 1954/5".
