If you are talking about Gatwick Mail Centre..then it's still available to park at...just come back from 10 day holiday and parked my car there...for a £ a day it's the best perk at RM

How does one go about arranging parking there and what's the score (cost) in getting a cab to the airport etc?

You just need to ask your manager for a form to apply I think it's a pound a day but all donations are given to a charity Gatwick mail centre supports so you give as much as you would like,you are then given a code and three taxi numbers to get you back to the Airport

Yeah but there's a code to get in, and I can't remember what it is.

I parked there last July, it was still Vic Mallinson then. I was on a course this week and the trainer reckoned he'd left and nobody else was prepared to take on the task of organising.

Not sure how true that is.
We have a perfect record in aviation: we never left one up there.
