Can anyone identify this airfield. I think it is RNAS Hinstock, otherwise known as HMS Godwit in Shropshire, but I'm not sure. It's an interesting maintenance picture, I can identify 7 of the nine aircraft 2 Seafires (I think since its RNAS), 2 Barracudas, 1 Corsair, 1 Hurricane, 1 Wildcat (Martlet) and maybe another lurking. I was round at the airfield last week but couldn't locate the position of the shot but did notice that there are several of the curved hangers still painted black.
BTW the control tower is up for sale at Hinstock (Ollerton) Google Image Result for http://images.thinkproperty.com/images/7361/011/type1/pb240071.jpg Big Lawn
Hi. I have seen this picture somewhere before, I think you will find that it was taken at RNAS Henstridge (HMS Dipper) No 2 fighter school. regards Ranger
Yep nearly right I think, Seafire (cant tell what mark, cannon armed) Corsair Martlet Barracuda x2 I think the aircraft directly opposite with the yellow spinner may be a sea hurricane , juding by the thick wings, starboard landing light and wide undercarrige. Kev
