My wifes Uncle was training as a air gunner on a Lancaster Bomber in 1945 when his plane caught fire and exploded on inpact killing all 7 crew. on Sunday 30th May I attended the Memorial inaugaration at Hoveringham Notts just across the river trent from RAF Syreston. Whilst checking for any articles relating to the memorial day I came across this website were a member asked for anyone who had photos etc of the event could post them to the site. This encouraged me to join the AIE with a view to upload some photographs from sunday for all to see. I am going to attempt this shortley. being new to the exchange this may take a little time so please be patient.

Hi Vic, Peter (PNK) will be interested in his new name - I guess he's been out in the hot sun today .
Welcome Vic. It was the Balloon Depot I was looking for and eventually found that the RAF museum holds plans for it. Problem is there is a backlog on getting copies at the moment due to a broken copier. No airfield as far as I know. I have made a note to check my Bowlee stuff and add it to the original post. Keep an eye out for it.
By the way you don't have a record by a group called Department "S" do you
