YEP!
YEP!..... Here is that famous main
gate.....
|
Originally
an R. A. F station, during world war 2...
Most of the girls in the photo's on this
site... married U.S.A. F. and Army chaps
who
were stationed here in the 50s and 60s...
I know a few of you have memories of
it before then..1930s and 40s...
It's no longer in use... but I hope
people who visit this site,
will
remember "happy times"
they spent there... and maybe...
some
of you have an old photo shoved
away somewhere that you could share
with us all....

You
will note local "Brit"
[also glider pilot below..] moving sheep to
another field...
I was in the car at
rear, jumped out and ran forward to
take this shot...
There were about
30+ sheep in the herd....Brit was
very unconcerned..
just walked
along....sheep dog was wonderful and
in full control of everything.....
