A "Celebration of Flight " Held at RAF Upavon With Prince Philip HRH
Hello Everyone,
I think it was 1961/2 "A Celebration of Flight " was held at RAf Upavon , with Prince Philip as the Royal Visitor to open the event . The old Hangars at RAFUpavon, the oldest RAF Camp, held the brothers Wright flying machine, which sailed across the English Channel, 100yrs before. I was only a small child of 7yrs , so would welcome any additional comments! My Father, Squadron Leader Harry Guile , an RAF pilot from 1944 , organised much of the event, and I have colour slides of some of the exhibition, if anyone knows how to digitalise them, I will post them on the site.
It was a wonderful display of flying machines and the different roles they played in the History of Flight in UK.

Moonrakers Gliding Club
RAF Upavon first came to my attention while on my Air Radar Fitters course at RAF Yatesbury in 1961.
I was taken by a friend to the Gliding Club operating from Upavon and quickly got hooked on flying. The CFI at the time was John Williamson and a bunch of other very competent pilots. I have started a blog about my experiences there and hope this contributes just a little to the history of RAF Upavon.
The Smith or Obriant Families of This Parish
I am looking for any trace of John Smith who married Repentance Obriant in Collingbourne-Kingston on 25th December 1773. She was my late husband's 6x gr.grandma and any info about the area of descendants would be great.
Swatton Family in Collingbourne Ducis
In the 1800s my gt gt gt grandparents lived in Collingbourne Ducis, house numbers 5, 21, 71, 53, according to the booklet 'Memories of C. D'. My grandfather John Swatton b.1871, d.1951. My father Leonard Reginald Swatton b.1912 d. 1993 lived I believe for about 5 years with his grandparents about 1922. Whilst he was there his grandmother died and is buried in the church at C.D. Also whilst there he recalled there was a fire and all the men and boys came out and filled buckets of water from the stream that was in front of the house where he lived with grandparents. Other members of the Swatton family are also buried in the churchyard at C.D. My grandad - John - settled in Winchester, Hampshire where he met his future wife (Lucy Hutchings), over time they had 6 children - one of which was my father. He out of the six was the only one to have children. My Dad was a Prisoner of War for 5... Read more
Leghorne House
Hi all, I lived in Collingbourne Ducis for a short time in 1969/70, it was a beautiful place and I have never forgotten my stay there but I can't seem to find Leghorne House, I have been back and looked for it but had no luck and nobody seemed to have heard of it. I would love to know if anybody remembers it and also any history relating to the house.
World War II
This picture looks as if it is looking down the street with the church on the right hand side. The Post Office in 1940 was opposite the entrance to the churchyard.
Every Saturday morning I would run to the Post Office through the churchyard to receive my weekly packet of sweets and comics that my mother would send to me from London. I would then run back to the Severals and lie in the field opposite the houses to read and enjoy the sweets. I lived with the Tuckers, Louise the mother, a daughter Ivy, and sorry to say I'm not sure about Mr Tucker's name, but perhaps Bill. I think he had a brother called Dan. For a boy of twelve village life was much different from that of Walworth in London but I have carried the sweet memories of those days over the years with much nostalgia. The last time I saw Milton was in the early 70's and it was a delight to see my boyhood village... Read more
