Original WW2 airfield signage

What a great idea for a thread. Here’s a few of mine, all picked up at aerojumbles:-

CO’s Crew Only. No idea where this originated from sadly. Looks as though it’s intended to hang in a corridor, near stairs?

Mirror from the Officer’s Mess of 101 Squadron. Looks to be 1920-1940s? Apologies for the poor quality of photo.

Notice Board from R.A.F. Middleton St. George, with a couple of the girls alongside to give scale.

I also had one of the Station signs from the gate at Binbrook, but passed this on to a Lightning freak. 😀

Bah! Only YOU could have a mossie (?) AND fury (?) control columns nonchalantly propped up AGAINST the sign! 🙂

A few pics from our museum –

Not exactly from an airfield – this is inside the Vickers-Armstrong air raid shelter at Brooklands (NOT at the museum …)
