| Here's a few new photo's I was kindly sent today:<br/> <br/> First of all, here's the Officers' Mess.<br/> There are two RAF vehicles in the shot, a Commer 8cwt Van and a Hillman 10cwt Light Utility (Tilly)<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/NPDP3.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The next photos are taken beside the Officers' Quarters on Site 7, the 614th's billet area at the western end of Benefield village.<br/> These huts were on the opposite side of the road to the main part of Site 7, the houses of Coronation Crescent now stand on the location.<br/> <br/> Building 347:<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/NPDP2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/NPDP1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Closeup of the two chaps above, in case anyone can identify them:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/NPDP1c.jpg' /><br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| The patch on the officer behind the Captain looks to be a 614th Lucky Devil Patch.  Paul you need to pass pictures like this to Ed Dana so they can be placed in Deenethorpe "Then" area for the photo gallery.<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C.

| Ta Don,<br/> <br/> I'll be sending hi-res copies of all the images to both you and Ed in the next few days.<br/> <br/> I've been looking at the jacket patch, and it looks very much like this one:<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c36/vcruiser/100_0386.jpg' /><br/> <br/> That's the first patch of the 527th Bomb Squadron, 379BG, based at nearby Kimbolton.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Hey guys, not trying to ask repeat questions (asked this in another thread) but since my grandpa flew on teh Mary Alice (401st/615th), and from my understanding, teh Mary Alice was stationed at Deenethorpe, does that mean he stayed there as well? Granted i am assuming that he did, but I am not 100% sure, so wanted to know. Also, if he did in fact stay/live at Deenethorpe, are there any pics of where he would have stayed listed here?<br/> <br/> Thanks guys for putting up with the "rookie" <br/><br/><span style='color: #0000FF'>Derrick Morris, Grandson of S/Sgt  Engr/Top Turret William "Dale" Sartor, 615th BS 401st BG, "Mary Alice"</span><br/>

| A comparison of photos of the Officers' Club at Deenethorpe.<br/> <br/> First, the one kindly sent to me from upthread:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/NPDP3.jpg' /><br/> <br/> And a colour shot of the same end of the building sometime later, showing the nice picket fence, sign and whitewashed cycle stands.<br/> In addition, the walls appear to have been painted green since the first photo:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/DPOffClub1.jpg' /><br/> (Photo by the late Hiram Hardesty)<br/> <br/> Both photos seem to have been taken after the fireplaces were inserted into the Mess Lounge.<br/> The route of the fenced path helps me no end in identifying the main entrance door to the club. &#x1f642;<br/> <br/> All the best, <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
