Another view of G-BHDK’s arrival

We don’t get this quality in the circuit these days!

‘Mitchell 320’ visited Duxford today.

Colerne Airfield

I have a particular interest in the history of RAF Colerne, does anyone have any old images of that airfield?

I remembered that you were particularly interested in the airfield, after your response. These shots show a little more of the field and what an interesting place (one way and another!) that Colerne was in 1967.

Train to Legends

Curiously, the IWM site does not mention the local station, Whittlesford, which has been suggested in this thread. Presumably, most visitors are not considered up to a 1.5mile walk! (There is no bus between Whittlesford Station and the airfield.) Whittlesford is on the Liverpool St. – Cambridge line.

Hermes Fin

I heard a story ages ago that the Hermes came with a tail fin, but it was subsequently lost, not sure if rumour or fact?

The fin certainly arrived and was restored, or at least repainted, as shown by the picture I took in July 1981.
