One of the lines from the upper clue:

"Now they got lots of ................and they don't haff make din"

From the lower clue:

These two bought a country mansion just a couple of miles from the airfield.

Lightning Mate.

Not Debden sabredog. Everything above should lead you straight to it.

I guess the risk is that clues come up so quickly that the occasional visitor arrives to find that three clues have been and gone at the hands of a small group who can look at the thread almost constantly...

However, one clue - very much for the cognoscenti (if you understand the clue, you will get the answer straight away... If you do not, it will be of no use to you)...

Track past the gold, tell the skull...

Ah well, no replies (since 1823), and off to bed now with an invitation for a lovely day out tomorrow in someone's nice aeroplane...

Don't want to be accused of holding things up so the answer was...

Elstree.

Open house, if anyone wants...
