Weird how f-16’s can operate out of Biggin Hill for Eastbourne but they rarely operate from there for an airshow at Biggin. :confused:

Sorry we missed those, but it was only a brief visit. We have a 1942 inscription roughly inscribed in the concrete at Knettishall.

Asphalt? Probably. There’s wartime concrete underneath and the asphalt dates from the cold war?

Moggy

Yes there is concrete underneath but the only reason the runway is in good condition is because of the asphalt. the section of runway that is just concrete is in very poor condition. I was at Eye airfield last week and i was amazed to see so many footprints in the concrete from when it was being layed, Makes you think about all the workers that built so many airfields in such a short time. By the way Moggy i don’t suppose the tree with all the names engraved in the bark is still at knettishall is it?

I had a look at the cctv and saw you looking around Moggy, Shame you didn’t get a picture of one of the squadron badges which even has the date beside it in the concrete outside one of the buildings. I have seen other dates in the concrete one of those was from 1943 and there are several peoples names and dates in the floors of at least one building. And yes the runway is in very good condition but i think you will find it is asphalt rather than a concrete surface. 😉 If i can i will get a picture of the squadron badge but it shows up better some days than others.

Nice choice there Snapper, very fitting words for someone that has touched the hearts of so many people these last few days. And a big well done to you and everyone that gave him such a great send off. I know how hard it is to lose such a great friend and you all really did Steve proud.

You should get rid of that triumph and get one of these, much more fun. 😀

Could it be Netheravon.
