One of those very early childhood recollections on a drive out with Mum and Dad….seeing white Bloodhounds set up on an aerodrome. We didn’t used to travel far afield so my thinking is that this would have been Tattershall Thorpe.?…would they have been easily visible from the road.??
I got to play with one later too….my Cousin Stuart had the Corgi missile set.:)
Clive.
Wandering the topic slightly….:o
…but do I recall a then Strubby based Bond helicopter…I mean the Bond helicopter company;).. A MBB 105 being used in an espionage style tv series.??
Would it have been the one that used an ex Coningsby? Pembroke down at Roger Windleys perhaps.???
Thank you,
Clive.
