RAF Beaulieu

Ref RAF Beaulieu, my late father was a photographer with AFEE Beaulieu and Sherburn in Elmet. Several years ago I published a book of his war time photographs, Top Secret War Bird of WW2. Bob Bird sat in the back of a Bentley sports to photograph trials of the flying jeep at Sherburn. He was also a friend of glider pilot Robert Kronfeld and took the only known photograph of Kronfeld in RAF uniform.

Welcome Robin. Some Upkeep and Highball info. also on the site which will be of interest.

Welcome Robin, do you have any photographs you can share on the forum particularly those attributed to military airfields?

Hey Robin, this is Marc - good to see you here.
