Excellent advice from RRPG.

For reference and research purposes, I use a website that overlays wartime aerial imagery over modern google maps. http://www.ukaerialphotos.com/?gclid=CM ... fAod2w5Bjw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This has been invaluable in identifying search areas.

Google Earth will do this as well

Yeah, but the coverage is pants on Google! There's only a small percentage of the country that has wartime imagery

1. If the base has built up aircraft bays (revetments), search the land behind the bays and on the external slope of the bay. When fiddling with aircraft, the ground crew would chuck stuff over the back of the revetment so search within throwing distance of the bays.

Thanks very much for the advice, I dont mind at all, I am a complete novice!! I had to pick you up on this comment though, as a serving engineer in the RAF we would never do this!!!

On the airfield I have found the A/C gun butts, the 'spectacle' dispersals, air raid shelters, and AAA gun pits. As of yet I can see where the billets and mess were, but maybe the RAF Museum will come up with the plans.

LOL ! I am sure you don't, but experience has shown they certainly did back then.......Frequently as well judging by the amount of stuff I find behind them !
