Martin Brown Posted 26 May , 2005 Share Posted 26 May , 2005 Hi Is this an identifiable site today? Do any traces survive? Also do we have a date for the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J T Gray Posted 26 May , 2005 Share Posted 26 May , 2005 Should be easy to spot if it's round Hornchurch (assuming it's not been built on!), because Essex is not the hilliest of counties...

Patrick H Posted 26 May , 2005 Share Posted 26 May , 2005 Looks like Suttons Farm or the Hornchurch Airfield Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Brown Posted 26 May , 2005 Share Posted 26 May , 2005 Should anyone have chance to go and see if anything survives I'd be pleased to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boreenatra Posted 26 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 26 May , 2005 I would imagine it's Suttons Farm. As the Battalion sailed East on 22nd July 1915 and landing at Suvla Bay and judging by the pic,April/May 1915 probably a good bet. Regards Steve.

Boreenatra Posted 27 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 27 May , 2005 Martin. Went over to to the site today, but about the only thing that's there is the name Airfields Way, and there is a myriad of new estates, and even a new one being built now. However Hornchurch Country Park is there. and there may well be something there. I'll check soon when I've got more time, as today was only a "passing through" visit. Regards Steve.
