                                    <td style='vertical-align: top;'>1. Please &quot;disregard my last&quot; (sort of).  I tried to answer &quot;from memory&quot;, without the info in front of me, which is always risky.<br><br>2. The parts of my prior reply that are &quot;OK&quot; are: <br>   a. The 613SQ. quarters is &quot;way south&quot; of the Airfield, across the Road (A427) from the 401BG Memorial and the airfield; and<br>   b. I'd be glad to send a photo-copy.<br><br>3. What I omitted was that there are several sources showing layouts or maps with facilities' labeled, but none I've seen with the Squadron I.D., specifically.  Examples:<br>   a. &quot;Aviation in Northamptonshire&quot; - Michael L. Gibson (UK), page 251: the drawing's &quot;Site No.4 Quarters&quot; 613SQ;<br>   b. &quot;The Mighty 8th War Manual&quot; - Roger Freeman, page ?: the drawing's &quot;Site 4&quot; is the 613SQ.;<br>   c. &quot;Airfields of the Eighth&quot; - Roger Freeman, page 67: the RAF aerial photo-montage of May 28, 1947's label &quot;Barrack Site&quot; references the 613SQ site that is just off the bottom edge of the photo; and<br>   d. The large-scale RAF Drawing of the base, with all buildings shown and labeled, &quot;Site No.9&quot; is the 613SQ.(just north of the also labeled &quot;Yokehill Farm&quot;).<br><br>Hope that helps, and let me know if you still need a photocopy.<br> <br>       <br>  <br></td>
