For the "flying tank", see
Antonov A-40 The A40 is a major
trunk road connecting
London to
Fishguard,
Wales.It is one of the few remaining of the "old" trunk routes not to have been superseded by a direct
motorway link, though some parts, such as the southern section from London to
Oxford are served by the
M40. Edward Platt authored a book entitled Leadville, an intriguing mix of sociology and town planning, and a record of how the A40 was conceived and how it shaped and continues to influence those who live beside and travel on it.
