Hi Chris, after some head-scratching I've sorted the pictures, they had the 'http' prefix twice within the image code. The easiest way to get pictures from photobucket to 'stick' is just to paste the stuff from the 'IMG code' Box directly into a post.

Cheers,
Adam.

Thanks for the pics, lovely! I had intended to go there, on our way back from Yorkshire, but had been told we had to be back in London/Essex for 6pm before going out again! so will have to have another go next year. How long would it take to look around the whole site do you think?

Regards

Andy

Hard to say Andy, confusing place but I'd say about 3 hours to have a complete shufti around.

Really can't emphasise enough what an odd site it is, I get the feeling that it needs 20 years of arboreal growth to turn it into something really rather special though.
It is currently an Arboretum with somewhat limited trees.

Thanks for these photos. I know I will never get there, so very much appreciated. Hope you don't mind that I took a couple of copies for my files ...?

The ATS memorial was particularly relevant to part of my research.

If I minded about anyone taking my photos for their WW2 related researches I wouldn't put them on the web mate .

Got a lot more from the NMA I should perhaps dig out.
Despite it's serious intent I couldn't help but smile at the misspelling/typo in the word 'Communications' on the Post Office memorial.

Visited the NMA yesterday. Spent best part of three hours exploring the East Section and good part of West Section. It's an amazing place and I'll be going back quite soon. Took some photos, but none different from Adam's.

The Changi Lychgate was for many years situated in Bassingbourn Barracks
