Dunholme Lodge

Hello,
Does anyone know where I might be able to find photographs of RAF Dunholme Lodge? Does anyone have any aerial photos of the airfield?
Any help would be greatfully received.
Regards

There are a couple of books around which give information about Dunholme Lodge, but being self-published they’re not too easy to find….

Anyhow, they are : –

The Dunholme ‘Lodgers’ by John Ward ( JoTe Publications 2004 )

The Last Flight Of Lancaster LL919 W by Anne Grimshaw (1999) – this one has very good wartime plans of the airfield and sites ; the Thorpe Camp Museum had a few copies recently.

Dunholme is also included in After The Battle’s ‘Bases Of Bomber Command – Then & Now’ by Roger A Freeman.

I’m currently ‘dog sitting’ at a house on the old airfield!

I’d like to try and find some war time photos, showing th airfield layout. Some of the internet aerial photography sites show the staining on the ground of where the old runways used to run (and of course some of the actual runways are still present), bit it would be nice to see a map of the site, or a good aerial photograph.
