Mag article on L4 Strips South West?

[QDMQDMQDM]

Apparently there was a flying mag article a few years ago about L4 grasshopper strips during the war in the South West. Anyone have any details?

Don't remember that, but there are a couple of books available on the 'Grasshoppers' during WW2.

Aeroplane Monthly, as I recall. I'd have a look through my back issues, but they're all boxed up and in a storage unit at the moment while I sort out moving house.

I think the feature that you are looking for is "On a Postage Stamp" which appeared in the March 2000 issue of FlyPast, Pages 32-40.

Several updates appeared later but I simply haven't got time to find them for you.

Many thanks, chaps!

One long-held fantasy of mine is dropping my L-4 down on the former U.S. Army strip that served SHAEF in Bushy Park, just a few hundred yards from where I live.
