Yes, where Laurence Olivier apparently trained as a pilot but not much further. HMS Kestrel the shore station sunk by Joyce. Other pilots mentioned being Bader, Gibson, Warburton, and a young Geoffrey de Havilland.

All yours.

Shall I get the show on the road with a guess at Membury?

Later, on reflection, no Invasion Stripes. Perhaps this is the Big Lift to Berlin.

dook 20th Jun 2019 17:40

No hits so far.

I'll have a punt at Down Ampney

Punt failure but very close......

Blakehill Farm?

dook 20th Jun 2019 20:36

Blakehill Farm it is.

All yours J.

JENKINS 20th Jun 2019 20:49

Thanks, Whack-O! Very recently in Cricklade with son, Blakehill, Down Ampney,, and Jimmy Edwards were discussed. Lack of Invasion stripes explained by date of photograph.

I have a little something. Perhaps overnight there may be an Iron Age expert in the Southern Hemisphere who might spark.

Don't Rush, it's a bit Windy.

JENKINS 20th Jun 2019 21:21

Ho-ho, very fast. Yes; I have never flown there but one of the organisations which in past years flew there slipped me a few onecers for services elsewhere. It is a name which, beside the troopship, creates a nasty whiff over links between two shiny-faced public school Oxford politicians. Neither has been honoured in retirement from the top job, but both are, apparently, raking it in.

Rant over. RAF Windrush, all yours.

lauriebe 21st Jun 2019 01:19
