Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I can thoroughly recommend The Chequers in Fowlmere – excellent pint, good food and an aviation theme. Several old pictures inside of the airfield, and they also honoured some of the old fighter squadrons on the pub sign.

Found the airfield memorial at Fowlmere.

I then went on to Dx – couldn’t resist it! – just a quick stop in the car park, and was rewarded with the sight and sound of HFL’s Tr.IX Spitfire taking off. Well chuffed 😀

Then drove past Bassingbourn, and finally tried to find the memorial at Steeple Morden, but only found the village sign!

So there you go – it is possible to have fun around Duxford, without actually visiting Duxford (well, apart from a visit to the car park, it wouldn’t have felt right to not have popped in……)

ps – sorry about the low quality shots – phone camera only, forgot the real one.
