No waiting, I am away for the rest of the evening. Nice to see mention of Imran Khan, a terrific player. At school in Worcester for a while before Keble, and thus accustomed to wet English pitches.

No, The Netherlands has it. The former Willingdon, after an Etonian Viceroy,; RAF Safdarjung, where one could drop in with the original Indian Air Force Parachute School, and now 'modi'fied to allow secure access for the Prime Minister where there may, or may not, be a light sircraft or helicopter should one be required. I imagine the large grass area within the racecourse to be a polo ground. Bungalow Land, Lutyens of course, but not those close to the airfield I believe.

As for the Dutch racecourse idea, I have seen more cricket grounds and rugby pitches in my flying across The Netherlands than racecourses. Perhaps the Dutch, in their short time in India, took on board some of the finer points.

All yours Bear, as I leave these portals for the rest of the evening.
