Did Plymouth have a major airfield near the dockyard?
If so, then Stonehouse would have had glorious scenes of aircraft flying along the estuary up past the Stonehouse Marina.
Sorry for the lack of posts recently.. been experimenting with Photoshop all week!
One of the photos I've discovered from our group data collection has been contrasted so half of the image is black and white like a vintage photo from the late 30's to early 40's along with the modern day original image to contrast the new buildings and objects from the old. I have added in aircraft in formation (a lancaster bomber, spitfires and typhoons).
This creates a feeling of what it may have been like during World War 2. Because the Devonport Dockyard was so important for the British Navy, an airforce would have been provided to slow down attacks of enemy Germany bombers and other aircraft. This really makes a great example of what it would look like back then.
