Hi All,
Just to introduce myself. I have, like many people here, a lifelong interest in aviation and in particular WWII aircraft and their operational environment, and the men (and women) who flew them. Airfields are an intrinsic part of this - machines too, in their own way.
So, I will probably be asking lots of questions, some dumb, and hopefully some not so dumb, and if I can add any material knowledge to the debates I will gladly do so. (I have a head full of details - some useful, and many useless, but what the heck...) And many years ago I got a PPL and hunted down older aircraft to fly - succeeded sometimes.
Best regards!
