R.A.F. Hornchurch,April,1941. Looking north.
|
Hornchurch is correct.
YHC! |
Apologies for the delay.
Open House. |
Just to keep things ticking over...
Going to have an early night as am going to Duxford tomorrow-will be off-line until the evening. (Unless solved this evening in which case disregard the foregoing...) http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...airfield36.jpg |
A lot of detail provided there Jenkins, none of which accords with the info which I have.
|
252/257 Sqdn. EL Magrun ?
|
Sorry Sabredog, not 252/257 Sqn El Magrun but the right country.
|
Gambut , (LG-139)?
|
Gambut is correct. Beaufighters of 'The Greatest Squadron of Them All'.
YHC again. |
Thank you, Olympus.
603 Sqdn. indeed. Richard Hillary's old squadron during the Battle of Britain. The next challenge should not last very long, and although not an airfield,it was at the time,a seaplane base. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...33/QUIZ112.jpg |
Hi Terrence.
Did we collect the same Aircraft Information Files from the 90's mate? :ok: http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/7923/img684m.jpg |
I am afraid not,Graeme. I found the photograph whilst researching Desert Air Force Beaufighters for Olympus's challenge.
Well done. YHC. |
Well, it was still dumb blind luck on my part mate. I was flicking through some issues and found that photo a short while back.
Open house. Cheers. |

Castle Archdale and nearby RAF Killadeas,Ulster.
|
Only Castle Archdale; Killadeas was further away.
|
RAF Castle Archdale is correct Sabre SiR. :ok:
On the east shore of Lough Erne, Northern Ireland. A famous Coastal Command RAF & RCAF Sunderland and Catalina base. Picture about 1944. As BS observes, Killadeas is about 4 miles further south and was, I understand more of a flying boat OTU, with St Angelo airfield as the Coastal Command Instructors School a similar distance south of Killadeas. RAF Boa Island - a signals station at the top end of Lough Erne, completed the picture. LFH Sabredog has control. |
Many thanks,LFH. My poor editing of a photograph caption is to blame for confusing the issue! Especially remiss, as I know Lough Erne and the Fermanagh Lakes very well. Thank you, Blanket Stacker, for pointing it out.
