Yes I think you might find that as redundant airfields get converted for housing etc, plans will be submitted for alternative use of some of the established ‘harder to demolish buildings’.
Excellent images, and thanks for sharing.
I’ve got to ask though, how did your father manage to keep images taken on his reccon missions?
We had a Luftwaffe reccon pilot visit St Athan about two years ago, and provided some fantastic images of the airfield.
Interesting complex of access tracks and what appear to be bomb stores to the east of your pinpoint.
Wonder if it could have been a remote bomb stores for RAF Poddington?
Yes and I’m not knocking that aspect at all, just that a few more hours in the library could have resulted in a great piece on the Hurricane, rather than it being under the shadow of the Spit again.
Apart from looking around that fabulous Hurricane, the stock footage was awful and was nearly all Spitfire, they really did let themselves down with the research on this one, especailly as pointing out differences between the two types history and uses etc.
apart from Duxford, where are the other two James?
Hi Rich, aswel as 67-0120 at DX, 74-0177 in Cosford Cold War hangar and 68-0011 on a plinth at Lakenheath, to be honest unsure of latest status of that one and would love to know.
