Re: Deenethorpe airbase and 613
<table> <tr class="GridRow"> <td> <p> <table> <tr> <td style='vertical-align: top; width: 160px;'> <b>Posted:</b><br> <b>By: </b><a href='mailto:win-z@juno.com'>Win Bryson</a><br> <b>On: </b>03/26/2003 <br> </td> <td style='vertical-align: top;'>1. Please "disregard my last" (sort of). I tried to answer "from memory", without the info in front of me, which is always risky.<br><br>2. The parts of my prior reply that are "OK" are: <br> a. The 613SQ. quarters is "way south" 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. "Aviation in Northamptonshire" - Michael L. Gibson (UK), page 251: the drawing's "Site No.4 Quarters" 613SQ;<br> b. "The Mighty 8th War Manual" - Roger Freeman, page ?: the drawing's "Site 4" is the 613SQ.;<br> c. "Airfields of the Eighth" - Roger Freeman, page 67: the RAF aerial photo-montage of May 28, 1947's label "Barrack Site" 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, "Site No.9" is the 613SQ.(just north of the also labeled "Yokehill Farm").<br><br>Hope that helps, and let me know if you still need a photocopy.<br> <br> <br> <br></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
