Re: RAF Wigtown

Odd details Alan

Not being British it took me quite awhile to see that there is something wrong here. I can only locate one Wigtown which is in Wigtownshire (Scotland), but your take off point gives Wigtown in Cumberland. As far as I can see there is no Wigtown in Cumberland (which is in England and not Scotland)

Checking RAF Wigtown (in Wigtownshire), it seems to have received its first unit on 13 Sep 1941 (1 AOS)

If Cumberland (nice sauce BTW) is what is correct, the name of the airfield must be something else....I think....

Anyone else?
Cheers
Stig
