Re: ww2 Formation Flying Photos .....
Gotta stick this one in for two reasons. One, The Beaufort is one of my favourites (very workmanlike) two, this is not near St Eval, as the IWM quotes, but about a mile round the corner from Portreath. The airfield is just beyond the cliff edge, and where there is an angle down in the right hand corner, that is Sunny Bottom Corner, also known as Sally's Bottom, (for reasons unknown to me 
) Have fished off there for many years.

There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
