If you look on a map at the Southern Perimeter road, you can see it's the same shape as the road just above the airport on the photo. Title: Re: Where is this?

The A4 wasn't there when the photo was taken - that bypass is post-war. Title: Re: Where is this? Post by: Acidmouse on January 15, 2010, 01:44:24 PM its not Heathrow as Heathrow didn't become used for Military purposes to mid '44. In the pic bottom rightish you can see corner of air strips with Military vehicle turning points. I have no idea what the bit in middle is? road from quarry? new strucure airbase?
