Despite having been registered since early summer I havent yet introduced myself.

I am based in the Cotswolds with a lifelong interest in old airfields,mainly around here,but also in East Anglia where I was brought up and also went to school at Wymondham College on the site of the old American Air Force hospital.

My father was a 76 squadron pilot in WW11,and I have some unique aerial shots of Yorkshire airfields which I will post once the scanner is fixed!

Have been planning day tours of Cotswold disused airfields for some time,but have yet to arrange my first.

Welcome to AiX Arrow28, are your photographs ground, aerial obliques or verticals or a mixture?

Aerial obliques of Carnaby,Lissett,Leconfield,Driffield,Holme on Spalding Moor and Breighton.All were taken either May 28th or July 9th 1945(two log book entries for local photography).If i can scan them,then if anyone is interested I can have some copies made of the originals.I did donate one copy to the good folk at Breighton some years ago,but dont know what happened to it.

Great. If you can scan them you can put them on the forum in the respective threads for ease of search.

Hi Arrow,

The Cotswolds are my old stomping grounds having grown up around Cheltenham and the Cirencester area. Sadly I live abroad now but whenever I am home I try and visit a few airfields and look around my old haunts.
