@NTarr Hi, yes that is Oakington, the train is travelling North-West from Cambridge towards St Ives, next stop Longstanton. The hard-standings and main runways are gone now but much of the perimeter track remains, as do several pill-boxes. The whole of the former airfield is apparently to be developed into a small town called Northstowe. Shame.

@chelackie It is very possible they were on the Sqn at the same time. Bill Shearer is the name. He was half way through his second tour on 15 Sqn when he had to bail out over France and was taken POW, on Sep 3, '42 (only survivor, Ops Karlesruhe). As there was a six month break between tours, my Dad would probably have been on his first tour at the time yours was on the Sqn. My Dad passed away in '94. I assume that yours must have done a good number of Ops, to have been on two Sqns.

Sadly the Sterlings short wingspan limited its altudude and many ended up on the recieving end of AA. Still a great looking aircraft though. I have also seen photo's of a Sterling captured by the Germans and assessed in 1942, had some slight damage to the nose and was tested in German markings with what looked like a tarpauling wrapped around the nose!

Yes NTarr, Looks like 7 Squadron at Oakington to me. I've spent a little time there. Notice right at the end in the background, one of the very early Stirlings without a mid upper turret.
