British Military Airfield Architecture - Paul Francis

That image cannot possibly be John GN Clift, it shows a young man with long hair typical of the 1970s not 1918 Lol!

The first book is nearing completion I aim to go to print by 1 May. Second book is written, photos and drawings finished but not proof read. Third has just been started

Does anyone have a photo of the aviation fuel installation that used to be close to the M/G range at Duxford and in later years opposite the American Air Museum? It should show above the buried tanks, a pair of vertical concrete pipes, which was part of the station's demolition of denial scheme. This is the only installation that I have seen but cannot locate a pic. It was probably removed pre-digital cameras so before the year c.2000.

Despite the many visits over three decades I had nothing covering that area either before or after the American Museum was built. Sorry.

howardnewbould and Scotia3030 thank you for your kind comments, hopefully the first in the new part-work will be out at Easter.

You may be interested to know that the first volume which is the intro to the four-volume part work is now print ready. So the final task is to get it printed. It is titled Works and Bricks (Vol.1), A4, 284 pages, b/w, hardcover, profusely illustrated with site plans, photos and hut drawings. Part 1: The Evolution of Britain's RAF Stations (11 chapters, 103 pages). Part 2: Building Descriptions (3 chapters: hutting, barrage balloon sites and air-raid shelters - 85 pages) and finally 16 appendices (66 pages).
