Well done. Bovingdon as it was in the summer of 1956.
I was serving with the Fighter Command Communications Squardon (FCCS) and the photo was taken from the cockpit of one of FCCS's Avro Ansons.
Background to Bovingdon
In 1956 RAF Bovingdon was quite a busy station housing both the Fighter Command and Coastal Command Communications Squadrons equipped with Avro Ansons and DH Devons. Servicing was carried out by civilan contractors with only a few RAF ground staff.
In addition the USAF 7531st Air Base Squadron had a detachment based here to service the frequent flights with personnel and freight to the USAF HQ 3rd AF in Ruislip from various USAF bases in Europe. USAF C47s and C123's were regular daily visitors. Also attached was a communications detachment from HQ 3rd AF in Ruislip to provide long-range ATC communications for the USAF. The USAF departed in 1962 and the RAF left the airfield in January 1969.
What used to be the airfield is now occupied by The Mount Prison. Hence my clue as to what you do with a horse - mount it of course!
Bovingdon VOR-DME (BNN), a major navaid for arrivals and departures from the London Terminal area including Heathrow, is still on part of what was the old airfield at Bovingdon. See snaps below.
It's all yours Chevvron - take it away!
