The 'Introduce yourself' Thread

Hi Im Barry and live in the New Forest.Im 66 and follow everything about old airfields in my area and the UK.My late father was an Airframe fitter in the RAF on Spits have many stories and events that he did.One of his jobs after DDAY was to drive the Churchill Lorries for downed aircraft through the French Countryside.

Welcome to AiX Barry, plenty on New Forest airfields to be found in the index. Ashley Walk (Bombing Range) is one of my favourites too.

Hello everybody,

Just a quick hello to introduce myself. I picked up on your site through a link posted on the excellent Lancaster Archive Forum which I use a lot. I am interested in all things to do with aviation, particularly historical stuff, and have a very special interest in the Lancaster and with RAF Waltham, since my father flew from there during the war. I know there is not much left up there now, but I do want to get up there and get "the feel" of the place, just to try and connect with what was such a significant part of his life for that short while. I want to see too if there is any evidence of the base in the local pub, e.g. photos etc..

Anyway, I love your site and have spent some time already seeing what's on offer. I look forward to logging in again as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Alan

Welcome Barry. I lived in the NF(Christchurch/Highcliffe/Hordle) area for 65yrs until we moved to Torquay about 4 yrs ago.

I expect you have found my Hampshire Airfields website.

Welcome to AiX big.al, plenty here to keep you interested.

Welcome Big Al, hope you enjoy AiX!

Hello to all.

Just joined the site, which looks fantasic. Have lived on the old RAF Ayr site for the past 20 years and use to walk through it on my way to work each morning. Off to the Kintyre Peninsuler on business on monday so should get a look at the latest going's on at Machrihanish (if enough time). Keep you all posted.

Ricky.
