brakedwell the Hastings really was quite a large aeroplane. So pleased the image struck a chord with you. Warmtoast I've always liked your 1956 aerial view of Berkhamsted (Northchurch). I can see the road which I used to whizz up in my Minivan to take the Basset Hound for a walk on the common. There was a very fast bend which the dog sitting in the left hand seat knew very well and anticipated - you could see her lean into the bend - just like a side-car rider in the IOM TT. At the time you flew over I was incarcerated as a boarder in Berkhamsted Prep Skool which I hated and was subsequently removed from. Apart from aeroplanes from Bovey one could hear Steam Expresses roaring through the station and the chug of narrow-boats during the dying days of commercial transport on The Grand Union Canal.
