the same photo is in second to none p80,with a present day comparison p156 walk from e pen car park round to the left follow past where trim mile was for about 200 yards,turn round towards car park and thats the shot,looking from spit dispersal over to blenheim dispersal,there is a bit of original peri track parallel to current path,i thought firing butts were on the other side ,where the landfill is,past tit lake.those books answered a lot of questions from when i was a kid,i had hornchurch offensive signed by a 603 squadron pilot who has sadly passed away.isnt mr gill something to do with the hornchurch wing,the country park ranger is john,hes good for a chat,told me every now and then a tractor would go over a bit of grass and the ground would sink revealing a dome shaped deppression,a lot of locals say hornchurch was an underground base he wont let me over there with a metal detector though(not that i have ever used one)would be nice to get some bits for purfleet .
