Some great aerial pictures are now available to view online of Hanworth/London air park from the ’20/30’s including the Graf Zeppelin visit, also the Whitehead aircraft factory which adjoined the air park.

It is my understanding that the airframe is owned by a forumite.

….and hasn’t removed it when asked/told to do so ?, so now just being got rid of, hence the scrapper ? or just acquired/saved it and will be removing it himself ?

There’s another C-47 already on the way over for the D-Day anniversary. N74589 has reached Narsarsuaq…

That will be “Union Jack Dak” ex 42-24064, She flew from RAF Aldermaston on D-Day. What a thrill, but poignant moment it will be for the crews of the 10+ C-47’s when they fly over Normandy exactly 70 years on.

Summer, 1947 on a top secret R.A.F. air base, deep in the heart of the English countryside.

Looks like a bit of landfill being indulged in.

Albemarle(?) rear fuselages and lots of crates, etc.

Hmmmm…

Looking at the spot today it must be worth a dig as its just overgrown scrub and you wouldn’t get in anybodys way, so shouldn’t be too difficult to get permission. Could even be some forumites working there now and they don’t even know what could be nearby.

I think Andy knows about this one

That picture was in a pub I visited a year ago , the info with it didn’t mean much as I wasn’t from the area. I later looked it up and found the 111 came down 2 miles up the road from the pub. On a later visit I found the location of the pic., which hasn’t changed much.
