Well, if you want to play "Name That Taxiway", I'll guess it is R.A.F. Banff...?

olympus - are you there ?

A pure quess - RAF Horsham St Faith

Could this have any connection with the film, 633 Squadron

olympus 22nd Apr 2012 12:12

Sorry been away for a couple of days; should have said.

It's not Banff, Horsham St Faith or 633 Sqn. As best as I can tell from the narrative that accompanies the photo the Mossies are of 128 Sqn and the photo was taken in November 1944.

The easterly arrival into STN (299° off CLN then vectors, I seem to remember) took us very close to Wethersfield and I always had a good look at it. The only aeronautical activity I ever saw there was gliding. I was slightly put off by the dated, 1940s feel of the colour photo.

Try this one...

I won't divulge the squadron at the moment as that will give the game away.

sabredog 24th Apr 2012 15:25

407 Sqn,R.C.A.F., R.A.F. North Coates,Lincs.

olympus 24th Apr 2012 15:39

Not 407 nor North Coates, according to the caption accompanying the photo.

evansb 24th Apr 2012 15:58

Hobsonville ?

olympus 24th Apr 2012 16:12

Not Hobsonville. North Coates was nearer.
