CUT AND PASTE LINK -sorry, tried to embed it but failed!!

The concrete drive is visible in aerial pictures from the 1920's. The scrap yard to the left of the red ring is predominantly where the hangers were (in 1919). The rest of the hangers appear to be where the car park is now, on the north-east corner of the site.

Anybody up for another West London airfields revisited??? DOG.400 now joined by B1TCH.400....
