I had an email from IWM last week saying that they had added a further 5000 Roger Freeman images to the AAM site but the sire was 'under maintenance' for three days and not the stated one day so I have had time only for a quick look since it reopened. Looks good.
there have been some new additions to the site, www.americanairmuseum.com/place/270
RSP's are starting to appear an example linked here. The quality looks reasonable but I suppose that all relates to the state of the original . A case in point is the SAD at Neaton www.americanairmuseum.com/media/17660
.
How odd, I was just going to post that RSPs have been added. Sculthorpe was interesting as it showed the original runways and the VHB runways overlaid. Sadly not the earlier grass runways. One of the Barnham ones seems to have a runway going through it but I suspect it is an existing feature that looks like one.
I didn't spot Wattisham or Bodney (main site) which I have on my list of wants.

It's not the Warren Wood site as stated but the main RAF site. The 'runway' is Exclamation Spinney, so called by the RAF as with Aughton Spinney at the north it looks like an upside down punctuation mark.
Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite
That particular link to Barnham needs some serious revision. The Warren Wood site which was 100% USAAF is some distance away, and the post-WW2 plan showing the RAF Blue Danube site is irrelevant. Forward depots did not use caves, and the link at the bottom is for Earsham, not Barnham,
