Long, LONG overdue - Woodsy Airfield's Mustang photos

Sat Jul 09, 2022 5:56 am

Four years ago, I received this batch of Mustang photos from Leon Cleaver (Woodsy Airfield) to scan and post here on WIX. Well, life gets in the way (and frankly, so does sloth!), but I've finally gotten them ready to go. With apologies to Leon, here we go - captions are what was written on the backs of the photos. Part 1 of 2:

Yikes...I thought that photos were probably lost in the mail. As you can see, my photo work and camera arn't the best. I have always appreciated your expertise and willingness to print all the photos sent your way. The WIX family of contributors have certainly added much to the history of military aviation and I check on the site several times each day. Once again, thank you Chris for listing the photos... :)
