Can anyone remember which aviation feature film it is that opens with a stone mile post on which is written 'Halfpenny Green', panning up to show the airfield with (I think) Spitfires taxying about?
I was trying to convince them the other day of the error of their ways and wanted to add this historic connection to my argument.
But don't call them 'Halfpenny Green' on the radio, as a friend did, because he got a real roasting! Actually I have always found them friendly, courteous and accomodating. Pity they are not part of the 'no landing fee genuine diversion' scheme.
