Was just about to add a post about this, Millom may be a little out of the way but this promises to be an excellent weekend with a lot of hard work and preparation put into it, well worth the journey up the M6.

Looked up the site. Very interesting read.

Would have been a very busy place during WW2. Ironic to see it started it's "career" because of a question mark over Irish Free State neutrality.

Further, that it was only raided once during the war (August 14th 1942) by a lone J88 seems incredible. Even this was put down to an opportunistic find. Sprayed the airfield aircraft with cannon fire and hit zip!!!!!!!!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

 What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
