Catesby Tunnel

Why would anyone want to install a turntable in a disused railway tunnel? To turn cars undergoing aerodynamic testing, of course. This view looks South near the North end of the tunnel; there is more wriggle room at the South portal. Incidentally, the centre of the tunnel now has a 200mph speed limit.
