There's literally hours of reading - and reminiscing - from all of the links there. Enjoy!
Hi and thank you very much for posting the link and your positive words - I was very pleased!!
Meanwhile, I have published more aerial photos from the 1940s for Nutts Corner (later Belfast Airport) and for Dublin Airport (with a hexagonal landing field, which I had not known before).
