[Riding With The Angels]

As a 'temporary' airstrip I can't imagine it being of too much importance to the Germans. Especially as it only appears to have, other than in emergencies, been used by the army!

Came across this odd story

"These photographs were taken by a visitor to the church in 1935, who sent the vicar copies. They are reputed to have been taken by a German spy who believed the church would make a good landmark for air raids against the airfield that then existed on the opposite site of the road, near Charcott, which was used as a 'standby' for Croydon Airport".

Seems a very polite German spy - mind you Von Stalhein was always very polite each time he tried to kill Biggles.

The pictures are here:
