On this day...21st July

We begin today with a working shot of Trench 6 on Chalkpit Field from 2008.

Were you with us that year? Are you in the picture?



A Trench 17 working shot from 2013 next. As we all know, this area looks very different now.


Finally for today we finish with a memory of an event we are truly proud of, the aerodrome memorial dedication which took place on this date in 2018. Sedgeford Airfield opened in 1915 and closed at the end of 1919. It also acted as a decoy airfield between 1940-44 and this memorial is dedicated to all units and personnel based there.

I know, crazy isn't it. We came to Sharp that year a week after our honeymoon. I've had a closer look and actually I think Ray is one of the background characters - oops!
