I’d be a little suspicious of Cowley as a take-off point as well, as I don’t know of any aerodrome there – unless anyone knows better? After all, there were a lot of Tiger Moth’s built there.

Not a huge fan – though I did use to live in the village he’d lived in until 1986 – but if you read “Flying Finish”, I think you’ll find that it ends at an unnamed airfield that surely must be Llandwrog…

I can’t imagine anyone arguing that WW2 bombing reports aren’t relevant to historic aviation.

If anyone wants to see the originals the ERO has an online search called SEAX here: http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/

However, there’s at least an eight-year backlog in items to be added to the catalogue, so there’s no promise they’ve actually made it on there.

The first one might be a Hillman, thus probably one of the infinite Minx models.

No7 looks like a Mk1 Hillman Husky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillman_Husky

Not sure about ENY465, though the grille is quite Jaguar-esque, but there’s a Morris Oxford behind it on the ferry and, top left in that pic, a rare beast, a series MO Morris Oxford: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Oxford#mediaviewer/File:Morris_Oxford_MO_1952.jpg

No10 is a Morris of some sort from the badge.

The van is a Fordson: http://gomotors.net/Fordson/Fordson-Van/photos.html?pic=7

Any help?

Good job I wasn’t drinking tea, Moggy!

I think he’s got a camera out…

Adrian

I was going to suggest that he’d be the right sort of age to play Dick Grace (now that would be a film worth watching… if you can stand something like a Youtube crash compilation!) but in fact DG was born in 1898, so he’d have been four years younger than Pitt is now in 1945.

Never before has my sig been so apt!
