| RAF Wickenby (1940s) |
|
File Description:
RAF Wickenby was a purpose built Royal Air Force station constructed late 1942 and early 1943 it had two T2 type
hangars and one B1 type. The B1 and one of the T2 hangars can still be seen on the airfield site. The T2 near the
threshold of runway 21 was recently acquired by the airfield owners and after many years of industrial use is now,
once more, an aircraft hangar.
The airfield covered about 600 acres (2.4 km2), and had the usual three runway configuration with perimeter track,
hard standings, a brick watchtower and numerous brick and metal buildings for the aircrews and ground staff. A number
of the buildings were to the east (Communal Site, Living Quarters, WAAF Quarters) and stretched to and beyond the
Lissington road - a road travelled many an evening by the airmen and women who visited their favourite watering hole,
the White Hart at Lissington. The Sick Quarters were to the south of the airfield together with a Communal Site and
Living Quarters.
The north part of the former airfield is now known as Wickenby Aerodrome, which is a grass and concrete airfield. A
road from Holton cum Beckering to Snelland runs right over the former airfield. Companies based at the airfield are
Thruster Aircraft who make microlight planes; Fly365 Ltd who fly pleasure flights; and Rase Distribution - a haulage
firm. Planes using the airfield have to make contact first with the control tower at RAF Waddington.
The Watch Office is the home of the RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection and the Wickenby Archive, a museum and collection
of memorabilia and archive dedicated to the memory of the Squadrons who served here.

| Havana 1962 Scenery |
|
File Description:
This scenery includes Havana as it was in 1962 (a mysterious city of much fascination for me) including El Morro Fortress on its rocky outcropping at the entrance to Havana harbor, the largest such fortress in the Caribbean, and its adjacent lighthouse. In downtown Havana you will see the capital building and several old cathedrals. Near the Malicon sea walk by the beach, you will find 3 famous hotels and former casinos, the Flamingo, the Riviera, and the Havana Hilton. The Havana Hilton opened just days before Castro seized power and nationalized it. When he first came to power he occupied the top floor for some time. Havana Airport opened originally as Rancho Los Boyeos Airport, located just southwest from the city in the village of the same name, which was then mostly farms, small ranches, and tiny communities. The original terminal was a very pretty Spanish colonial building, which the dictator Fulgencio Batista had remodeled in a 1950's cubist-tudor style. It was at the time of this remodeling (1957) that the airport's name was changed to Jose Marti International Airport, named after the famous Cuban revolutionary and poet of the 19th century. Jose Marti Airport was in the 1950s and 1960s the primary port of entry airport for Cuba. Up until the January 1st 1959 revolution many US airlines served Havana, but due to mounting tensions, the crisis of the Bay of Pigs attack, and later on the October 1962 missile crisis, traffic and tourism was ended as the US led blockade of Cuba took hold. By the time of this scenery, April 1962, the once former bustling Jose Marti airport had become quite sedate.
