No incoming fire RetreatingBlade but did the pub make a tribute to its past?
For example close to Martlesham Heath is the Black Tiles pub and the proprietors have always had a display of sorts as a tribute to some famous WWII fliers. I have not visited it for four years though.
Last time I visited, which has to be 1968-ish, the only thing vaguely aeronautical was the huge red propellor outside. I certainly don’t remember anything of any note on the inside. It was so far removed from what remained of Croydon Aiport and surrounded as it was by industrial units and housing estates, it was just another pub. Not exactly a shrine to aviation. Mind you, the Aerodrome Hotel wasn’t much better.
