Question

....ghostly aero engines over Colerne airfield, Wilts. OK, I confess I had spent the evening glugging decent Burgundy at a nearby posh hotel, but even so.

Not a ghost story, but if you walk in the woods near Christmas Common (just where the M40 slices through the Chilterns, not far from the big Stokenchurch mast) you may come across a memorial to the crew of a battle damaged Whitley that crashed there, just a short distance from their base. A quiet and mournful place where the birds seem not to sing. It's good to see, however, that someone regularly places flowers there.
