Hi guys,not being lazy,i have googled etc.Can anyone point me in the direction i can get aerial pics of BoB Airfields,at the moment im trying to populate Biggin Hill and im finding it surprisingly hard to come across any pics.
Any help would be much appreciated.

i tried this about a month back and promptly gave up, but will bump you anyway :)

Heres a strange thing......you can view historic aerial images in google earth but when you look at biggin hill in 1945........it dissapears (twilight zone music)

Here is a diagram I have of Kenley, am sure I have others, just have to find the right books as the missus has packed them all away.

Many airfields from the period still exist in some form today.
Take a look at a modern satellite image and you will still see runways, hard stands, munition bunkers and control towers and rotting Nissan huts on many ww2 fields.

my closest field is here:

It still has plenty of features, including the tower. It is far from unique.

A Luftwaffe map of Biggin Hill no details unfortunatley, not sure if it will be much help.

Thanks Gents.Im amazed at just how hard it is to hold of this stuff.Kenley map is spot on mate,i wish i started on Kenley now but its just that i was brought up 10 miles away from "The Bump" and as a kid i used to cycle up there on a sunday morning and have a wonder about.
