Default RAF Netheravon 1945

A nice photograph of pilots /aircrew and others, including a 2nd Ox&Bucks senior officer, font row, and a Para at the back.
I know at one time, I think prior to 45, Netheravon was used by the airborne forces.
Views and opinions welcome.

Yes it used to be an RFC station. I think it started life as one in 1913
