From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
The closest pubs to Sunny Scampton which most aircrew would use in my day were probably the Black Horse at Ingham (scene of many a 'Dobbin Ranger') - or the Red Lion in Sturton b' Stow. We also used the Black Bull in Welton....amongst many others.

It seemed to be that, in those days, the closest pubs to a flying station were considered to be 'Airmen's territory' - officers would maintain a discreet distance and leave the lads to it.
