RIP Major Winters back to join his company of heroes….
Since i posted the above photo this morning i have recived an overall view of Honington that seems to confirm the first one as Honington…the nissan huts have yet to be built (presumably the foundations are there or they are just out of shot) the windsock is in the right place and the first pic may have been taken from the control tower
Again this pic is public domain so if you want a copy just PM me 🙂
Gaz
Thanks everyone:):)
I showed the pic to my dad, straight away he said Honington and hes only interested in modern stuff
BTW the pic is public domain so if anyone wants an electronic copy just pm me with an e-mail address

IIRC i’m sure the HHA guys when they dismantled her said she was fairly good…I stand to be corrected though
But if the new owners dont get her covers on soon she will deteriorate rapidly, shes only about a mile away from the sea:(:(
