U.S. readers will have noted today's message from Kevin Taylor, lauding the
qualities of Kemble Airfield, and perhaps wondering what that is........
As a guest of several Europa builders in the English West
Country, I was treated to a visit to this large ex-WW II base now being used
by various groups, and enjoying a casual lunch under the tower. It is a
wonderful spot and doubtless deserves to be the future venu for coming
events such as the PFA fly-in.
What American cousins may not appreciate (in spite of the number
of Mum'nPop fields so well spread throughout the States) is that as a fan of
WW II events, I have counted up over 820 airfield and water sites used
1939-1945 in the space slightly less in size than Hudson's Bay. Many of them
are gone to other uses of course.
Thanks Kevin!
