Hi gang,
Just registered thought I'd better join this site as Deenethorpe is the closest 1st bomb Division airfield to my place of birth and where I grew up, approx. 5 miles. Anyway as I am putting together a model of the airfield does anyone out there know what colour Nissen huts and airfield buildings were externally all the references I can find are black and white, really useful! 😞
Thanks

Hi Dale,

I'm only the other side of Kettering, in Warkton.
I've got quite a bit of info on this sort of thing. If you rattle me off a PM I'm sure I can sort out the info you need.

All the best,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thats very good of you, however apart from president Blair PM has me baffled sorry to be a bit dim but what do you mean by PM. Anyway I'm new to the 8th, 1st Bomb Div etc. having previously been RAF and U-boat orientated so you have my undivided attention.

All the best

Dale

Dale,

If you look at the bottom of the post you will see PM for Personal Message and it will go directly to whom you are talking with with out giving out any phone numbers over the internet. So just clik it and and write to him.

Dale,

My message to you is sitting in your inbox. If you've got a pop-up warning banner at the top of the page when you come to this site, that's just Windows blocking a message banner to let you know it's there.

All the best,
Paul
