At 24,000 the pilot of the meatbox in a high bank turn said where is Stradishall Nav? It was a safe bet when I said down there (100%) 10 o'clock which was a fair guess (80%) but a racing certainty given odds of 1:5.
PS, Found provenance of the 1945 photos. One has Ordnance Survey and added names and positioning data and nearby the imagery date is 1/1/45.
