They'd often stop on the field after leaving the gate as a means of simply holding the passengers while the plane was being prepared (they were called "motor lounges"), but there was inadequate seat space for everyone and the air conditioning inside them was usually inadequate as well.Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03404920751035863730noreply@blogger.com
