Great set of photos Keith – Must have missed you there today.
Brilliant day and the weather was a major plus. A great cause and a great day.
Nice catch Richard, I take it you were exploring the airfield.
Took some cadets on an AEF slot and while they were all flying, I thought I’d look at the planes!
That’ll be the station battle bunker, I remembered that little hill and wondered about it for bloomin’ years until I discovered the existence of ‘Battle Bunkers’
There’s a thread, with photos, about it here :- http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=62451&postcount=3Did my 6 week stint in Jan 80. Contracted the mandatory Swinderby Flu on week 4 and don’t remember much of the final 2 weeks, including our passing out parade, to be honest!
😀
It is a Battle Headquarters, some onfo on them here;

What sort of era are you looking for?

Great set of photos, really like the B52
It may also be worth asking on the AiX forum too, there are a number of Kent locals on there that may be able to help as well.
I’d be very interested in seeing some of the photos as well.
Isn’t part of the airfield now the zoo?? or am I thinking of somwhere else?
Tangmere – your PM box is full!!
If the offer is still there I’d love a copy of the police report on the crash, thanks alot
A Silver Dakota has just flown over my house, 1157 (BST), North Suffolk, near Eye
Thats a great story, Thanks for sharing it
Another great set of photos, well done Neil.
Brilliant photos, great to see a 190 flying in the UK
Brilliant photos Neil, hard to pick a favourite, they are all great and it looks like it will be a great weekend – I’m frustrated that I can’t make it this year.
