Title: RAF Benson post WW2
Post by: mfg495 on July 04, 2010, 08:44:05 AM

Thought members would like to see this set of images I have. They are of RAF Benson after WW2, this Unit was the home of RAF Photographic Reconnaissance from 1940. These images were taken from 1945 to 1956 and show the various reconnassiance aircraft used, there is even a Lancaster PR.1 (still carrying out research on this one).
I have had the images for a number of years and apart for only putting a couple of them on my site, they have not been seen before.
