Interesting,as 279 was an Air Sea rescue squadron,whereas the Hudsons in the challenge are obviously bomber versions. My reference for the same photograph,"Lockheed Hudson In World War11 by Andrew Hendrie p.43, has the caption for 407 Sqdn. R.C.A.F,North Coates, July 1941-Feb,1942.

Interesting indeed Sabredog. After reading your earlier post I noticed the code letter NO5(?) on the watch tower railing which made me think that perhaps it was North Coates rather than Bircham Newton.
My source for the picture was Dinghy Drop, 279 Squadron RAF 1941-46 by T Docherty, page 80.

This airfield is rather quiet these days but there on ongoing discussions as to whether this will change in the near future.
Earlier this century it saw a number of flights that could well have been described as extraordinary.

Thats it Sabredog. Still very much classified but there is much evidence that rendition flights from the Middle East and North Africa routed through here en route to Cuba in 2003. Also that some of the detainees were waterboarded at a nearby facility.

Syerston and Salisbury Plain are excellent guesses, but not correct. The photograph was taken in the early 1920s, and is to be found on the Web.
It has a geographical link to a mutiny!
