Which Aerodrome Mk III
Many years ago there was a superb Korean War film on telly which featured airstrikes by
F-80s apparently using their wingtip drop tanks as bombs. I think it was called '60 Seconds to Zero'; possibly Robert Mithcum in a leading role? It must be 50 years since I last saw it.

The movie was One Minute to Zero and indeed starred Robert Mitchum.
See One Minute to Zero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
Available on DVD from A*a*on, amongst others.
And now we return you to our regular programme.....

No, not been there, but a quick look at the A375 on Streetmap.co.uk, revealed the magic letters PH at Putts Corner, south of Honiton. Is it only in the UK that pubs are an important feature on topo maps?
Interesting story.
This aerodrome has some interesting stories too:
