The one I haven't shown you yet is definitely a dead giveaway.:ok:

I did think that this would be one of those airfields named almost immediately.




edit to add: to clarify: on re-reading my other post, I meant that I've shown you two pictures out of three - and they are either side of the one in the middle - which is the dead giveaway.

A nice dome trainer in the first photograph , a Walrus and a Defiant too so could well be a FAA base ? How about Angle or Dale ?

Bingo, Shoreham it is - here's the middle picture.

30 minutes into the 1943/4 film "For Those In Peril" - a very good watch.


David - there is still a Dome at the airfield today. Same one I assume?


Over to you Jenkins - do you have something for us?

Used to live near Langham (Blakeney). Got some photos of the control tower somewhere, the turkey farmers were a bit suspicious of me wanting to take a photo.

OK, another one from me

Nope, not Leicestershire

Have another photo :)

North Weald?

Thought you might say that - but no, it isn't North Weald.

But I've got the right squadron - 56?

What these markings?

They might be marked as 56 Squadron.

Tis not Debden either.


I'm just about to go out (daughter playing hockey), so I won't respond for a while, so here's one more photo for now.

I've got one more image that should give it away. May try to post it from my phone later

Kenley?

Offline now.

I would say Kenley too; that huge apron in the initial photo is very Kenley like; definitely not Bovingdon.
Angels One Five was on telly yesterday too!

A wild guess - Little Rissington ?

Boscombe Down?

Kenley it is. I did think that the 56 Squadron markings would lead you on a wild goose chase. As chevvron pointed out Angels One-Five was on the telly yesterday. It was really good to see Kenley active, as I lived 1/4 mile away for 25 years and could only imagine what it was like. My house was just behind the trees on the left towards the top of the picture.

I was wondering about the twin-engined aircraft. Only picked them up from the screenshot. Would they have been present in 1940?

Here's the give away shot.

India 42 has control.

nvubu,

You sneaky bu:mad::mad:er!

Was 56 on detachment to Kenley? Aahh, I get it! Fake 56 markings in a movie!

I've decided to concentrate on airfields that I've flown into as a pilot. I've done a few before, but I've still got about 50 in eight countries to choose from!

Here's a starter. I'll zoom out as required:

Open House for now as I'm watching another film :ok:. Will have another one tomorrow if no-one else posts
