The ground is at the East End, just east of the town reservoir, and the novelty is attracteing large crowds of people who watch the nose-diving, banking, looping the loop, etc., with great interest, but passenger flights are almost invariably made by straight-forward flying. The machines are of the usual bi-plane type and appear very steady when in motion. The reservoir is actually on the SE side of the town – 50 13 55”N 005 13 08”W and just to the east of the reservoir is the Grambler Farm and the large field to the south is probably the one used.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
