    I lived near the bottom of Thong Lane. The Gravesend Aerodrome (as we called it) was about a mile up the lane where the land became level
    I was a boy 7 years old in 1940. I remember the pilots going to have a drink in the cellar of the White Hart pub in the village of Chalk. The cellar was known as Daniels den the name of he landlord.

    I was 7 years old at that time living on Lower Higham Road just at the bottom of the hill about a mile from the airport
    I can remember walking up Thong Lane to the guards at the airport
