Paul you said they where both still standing, where? theres only a C type on its own at Gosport (Fort Grange) no A next to it in the same orientation to the photo at least not that I could see. www.flashearth.com/?lat=50.806726&lon=-1...&z=17.4&r=0&src="msl" It would have to be either to the east of the Type C with the camera man looking northeast, or the west looking southwest?

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Didn't I tell you, you were all great teachers!! But sadly it looks like a case of the pupil
showing the teachers how it's done :) :) . I knew my set of 1982/83 "Military Airfields of
the British Isles" by Steve Willis & Barry Holliss would come in useful some day. Never
thought it would be in this way though.

And as the saying goes, now for something completely different

Certainly was very different from Gosport, a lot easier for a start.
Correct Mike, Donegal International Airport, Carrickfin it is.

Have you ever been there. Done a bit of training there myself during
the 1990's.

Over to you now.

Hugo.

I guess this shouldn't be too hard, and yes, i have removed the airfield code from in front of the tower. Didn't want to make it too easy!

Right first time. RAF Snailwell it is. 1945.

Nothing much left now here other than a small amound of peritrack. The armoury survived to the early 90s. There are several pillboxes south of the airfield which look weird as they were strengthened by adding extra concrete up to the level of the embrasures. Have pictures somewhere but not to hand. Not sure if the squash court is still around? It was the last building standing!

Over to you PNK

Hmm! Running out of my own photos. Try this one. It's the entrance to an airfield taken in 1975. These buildings may not be related to the airfield.
