Feeling a bit guilty about taking up these OH's, but in my defence I did work out Manston without peeking at the answer!

Anyway - another airfield

We wander north to a small village.

An obvious answer is North Luffenham, but surely you wouldn't post something that easy!!

right heading, wrong airfield YS. Every part of the clue is relevant to the answer.

LM - re SC - even when you show the big pictures I still don't recognise them! Memories of doing our monthly study sessions in the vault - I couldnt tell a Fishbed from a fish supper

Good afternoon, TTN,

West Raynham (as in we stray N ham [let])?

Yet another OH if correct, I'm off to put on my English shirt, more in hope than expectation.

Another lesson in how to read cryptic clues from the master! West Raynham it is.

OH has been offered

(My Irish half well pleased after the result from Dublin, my English half is a bit apprehensive though)

Ford is the obvious (and probably wrong) answer.
