From the Cockpit over Kent Thames Estuary

[philip.ed]

Nice shots.
Apha, are these recent shots? They are great, but if they were taken recently they'd be a far-cry from how this scenary would have looked in the summertime.

You mention violet fields, well in paddock-wood in kent there is a field that is literally purple. I think it is lavender, but I can't be sure. Not sure if it would have been like that in 1940...
