    Slightly different construction, the hut being raised on bricks as the ground was soft beneath.

    If anyone's thinking of making an 'Easy Company' pilgimage to RAF Upottery, better do it sooner rather than later. Housing redevelopment is threatened. I took this shot last Summer....

    Had a drink in the Blue Boar on the green. Saw this and thought the forum would find it interesting and amusing.

    As we drank a coachload of American tourists arrived to do the village tour. Aldbourne has never forgotten their friends from across the water and the memory of their time here burns brightly still.
