23/06/11….What’s happening in Haddenham?

HADDENHAM AIRFIELD. Peter Chamberlain reports that there have been some recent updates to the Haddenham Airfield history website. He writes: ?Thanks to Peter Burton of the Oxfordshire Aviation Group, we now have a whole new chapter on the Royal Navy’s development of towed targets started at Haddenham. Also through the efforts of Alan Rose, Barry Blight and Robin Potter we have some more pictures added to the Airtech page, namely of a company brochure and a Christmas Card. (There is still much more to come on this company, so keep checking in). http://www.haddenhamairfieldhistory.co.uk
