Hmm, not too many clues in the photos of the site!

However, I think the last picture is probably taken outside St John’s College – if you look to the left of the top photo in the link below, you’ll see the downturn in the string course of the stonework above the window tops, just by the lamppost.

St Giles (rarely suffixed with “street” locally, if you’ve been there you’ll know why) was also used to display parts of Hess’s Bf110 – though that went on the opposite side in front of Pusey House, near what is now the Oxfam bookshop.

Back to the site…

Google Maps doesn’t find me a Woodway Farm, but it does find bungalows on a Woodway Road, heading out into the wilds of the downs. There’s a huge area of open downland largely used for horsiculture, and with not a lot in the way of features that are distinctive from the ground. However I surmise (ie guess) that, as the address given is Blewbury, that it landed to the North of the parish boundary, which at that point I’m fairly sure is the Ridgeway, and is the post-1974 Ox-Berks border. If that is so, I wonder whether the photo with the bell tent and what looks like a roof in the background might show the range hut at the shooting range at Churn?

Any offers, or am I talking spheroids?

After my last effort you may wish to ignore this, Andy, and I won’t complain, but I reckon that your photos are the other incident – I think that in the lower one you can see the rear portion of the other engine nacelle, whereas Wellington285’s picture shows that part burnt out.

Pushing the boat out a bit further, his photo also appears to show an aircraft down in a crop sown in rows, while yours show an aircraft in pasture.

Just to bung in a googly…

The largely square framing on the cottage behind suggests midlands – East Anglian timber framing would have had far more verticals, while it seems to get more ornate the further west you go. Possibly Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire?

A bit of a long shot given the evidence, but it’s the best I can do.

Oh dear, just when people are getting serious, I’m afraid I couldn’t resist this. Hopefully it will give Bob a grin to rival the one I got when I spotted his avatar.

I have Amelia’s camera.

Hey guys, yoohoo TIGHAR, over here, if I’ve got her camera, the Electra must be underneath my allotment!

That should get it dug this spring…:diablo:

I may regret asking this but…

What’s the device on the front of the tractor? It seems to have a drive off the transmission, where the belt pulley usually is. Is it a crane for loading up the bomb trolleys?

They should build buried aircraft like this Chrysler model ……Resurrected so many times ….

…..I bet it would even stand a long term burial …….

Wasn’t that one a Plymouth?

I still can’t answer that, Tim, but I think you’ve just reminded a few of us (well, me, anyway) of a truth that ought to be considered a lot more.

To many of us, certainly to me, it’s an interest, it’s something I can afford to be detached about. You were there, you experienced it, you feel it differently.

Last summer I was talking to an old family friend, and she got onto some of the things she could remember. She remembers, as a tiny girl, hiding under the kitchen table as Zeppelins throbbed overhead. To me, that’s fascinating, for I can’t imagine a flying machine the size of a battleship (in fact, I can’t imagine a battleship, because I’ve never seen one), let alone one flying over “my” corner of Essex. To her it was visceral, she could taste the fear again talking about it.

Sorry if I’m talking philosophical ballcocks, Tim, but you got me thinking (dangerous move, doesn’t happen very often)

Good job you are at Lossie and not St Cyrus, or you’d be eating lard for months…
