Astra Cinema
Yes Reg , there were a few Astra Cinemas in various counties, and these were operated by the R.A.F. The cinema near Blackpool, was on the left hand side on the Kirkham/Blackpool road. A white concrete building near the entrance to Wharton airfield. The words Wharton always reminds me of the Flying Fortress trying to land at Wharton but crash landing on Freckleton school, killing some children and staff. I think the Americans had the school rebuilt and provided a memorial garden. ?
Although my release book is stamped Kirkham . I think I was billeted at Wharton
