This is how it was …

Bridleway Gate in Shropshire was a Relief Landing Ground for Shawbury’s Oxfords. There was, and still is, a cottage perilously near and the family living in it were asked to display a light in an upstairs window to warn pilots of the obstruction during night flying. So, not entirely fictitious!

Another added from here!

According to this site, Llandwrog didn’t have one approved but it may of course have had an unofficial one. I hate to sound picky but the correct term is badge rather than crest.

Dave, it was probably me you contacted about the rumoured wing (from DN365?) serving as a bridge in Ayrshire. As Anne notes, it was in one of my High Ground Wrecks editions. As for Staffordshire Typhoons, the MU at RAF Lichfield had around 800 awaiting the scrapman in the autumn of September 1945. It is very possible that one or two, or sections thereof, escaped the chop!

According to the Methven entry in Action Stations Volume 7 – which must be true ‘cos I wrote it 🙂 – “In May 1942, a naval officer from RNAS Donibristle visited to explore the possibility of using the SLG for the transportation of naval stores to and from the nearby depot at Almondbank. This was approved but the flights were confined to small communications types like the Proctor and Dominie”. It is also noted that a Stirling was landed and taken off from Methven on July 30 1942 and it was then pronounced serviceable for four-engined aircraft, although it was the end of the year before Stirlings were flown in on a regular basis.

Have a look at this site if you haven’t already. It lists one negative for G-AKEX and a digital print is available for a reasonable price. It may be in the cream scheme of course but you can ask first!
