excellent
This is just marvellous Miss Leigh-Thompson! I enjoyed your explanation so much. Imagine 1939 and the photo of this mysterious airplane still exists! Where is it?? You deserve a double 5 for this.
many thanks, the whole story of the 'Barton In The Clay Aerodrome' can be found at www.bartonleclay.org the villages community website. Aircraft of this period suffered two great fates, the first was degradation of the glue used to hold them together and the impressment in to RAF use as trainers as WWII loomed.
I have many more pictures of the village taken during this period like Benny Hucks 1911 Blackburn crash landing at the rectory however with www.picturesofengland.com current hold on the posting of old /black&white images I cannot put them up as yet.. sorry, you can find most though on the community website in the history section. www.bartonleclay.org
