The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

Welcome to AiX Graham. The Advanced Landing Grounds (ALGs) had a very short life with every structures and little survives today. It is nice to see that Friston is still grassland. You are familiar with Horne ALG and Deanland ALG too is just 8 miles north of Friston.

Welcome to AiX DEAN03528,

Any airfield relevant images that you can take during your your 'rovering trips' will be welcome. I have just read your Bury St Edmonds post.

Thanks chaps, would anyone be interested if I took some of the bomb dump then, as it's not often open to the public (except the footpath) and we have an event that includes driving in there again on last weekend in June for the West Suffolk Country Fair?

Hi Deano3528 - good to see another forumite from Suffolk! It'd be great to see some of the Bomb Dump, please post away!

Okay, well we are back there over the last weekend in June, so I'll take the camera with me when I go over to check the 'greenlane' course. The fusing buildings are still intact and there are heaps of revetments where the bombs were stored. We did start driving over a couple of them as part of the course (with the blessing of the landowner, I might add) but once I realised what it was we were driving over I stopped all play and reinstated the two areas. They have been there for years, so it's not right that we trash any part of the history there or anywhere.
