Have a look at this link to multimap for Timperely, Cheshire
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...&multimap.y=86
Shaftesbury Ave is rumoured to have been used as an airstrip in the war with Cubs/Taylorcraft being parked in the carpark of the public house at the junction with Wood Lane.
Hope this helps

I cant help you with strip locations but you may be able to help me getting some history on an L4J #45-4466 (at some time converted back to L4H spec) that I bought into last year.
I can only go back as far as 1973 when it was transferred from the French to UK register and I would love to find out where it served DURING WW2
