More about this scene

In the middle of Over and Nether Wallop, the river runs beside the road. To the north-east lies the Second World War airfield which has been the centre for army flying since 1958. Today, there is a museum here tracing the history of army flying and helicopter development since the 1940s. There is also an air show here every few years.

Does anybody know who took or who the people are standing at the bus stop? Remember getting the bus from Wallop to Andover or Salisbury many years ago as a child.
1946, I was stationed at RAF Middle Wallop and remember the village with watercress beds. Rationing was of the vogue but next to the aerodrome was a bungalow that always supplied eggs and chips to ever hungry airmen. If anyone remembers me please get in touch. Jack Lawford.
