As it is an open house, here is the next airfield

Once again, thanks to D J Akerman for the use of the photo

It has to be Westcott in Bucks. If I am right, the floor is open as I have nothing original to hand.

Unless we can post :-

a) Airfield layout drawings (my own)

b) Pictures scanned from books and magazines or taken from the web(surely a copyright issue though).

Peter - well done!! Got it in one!!

I'll leave the floor open and hope someone else may post up a photo? Unless you want to test us on one of your airfield drawings.

One of my earliest sketches (197?) - it may not be orientated correctly.
I have left my original notes. Which excludes the date.

Can we have a clue?

Or can I ask 2 questions?
Is it still recognizable today as in your sketch? ie runway layout?
Does it still have its double and single belfast hangars

Stevo,

The hangars are long gone. The shape is still there, just, but was added to at various stages.

Random guess as the shape is similar, but not the same orientation.
