Nice!! I dont suppose you know of any other interesting sites around Witchford. I live in Haddenham so i would like to go and take a look when i get time!!

I know Haddenham, I drive through there regularly! There are loads of airfields around, have a look at contentd's website; http://www.content-delivery.co.uk/av...landSouth.html and it will give you the aerial satalite views of airfields and show you where they are.

Forgive me if you've seen these elsewhere...

I've just treated myself to a new Camera.

I wanted to go somewhere to try it out, so I went back to the RAF Witchford Memorabillia Collection.

Firstly, the Memorial



The only remaining Hangar



The entrance to the collection



Some of the exhibits
