Cheers Oggy; I'll PM you when I get back home tonight.

Ben; It's been a few years since I was there and have a slightly sub-standard memory! There were no Nav-Aids since the RAF moved out and all the hangars were fenced off from the airfield and in use by the Logisitics Corps I think. I'll try and find some old photos and the old airfield chart.

Cheers

from the top down view on google maps, looks like 'C' types (1934 pattern) and
'Belfast' types (like the original ones at Kenley,with vaulted roof)
