DUXFORD Airfield, near Cambridge, now part of the Imperial War Museum, is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
To commemorate the occasion, the Museum is staging an anniversary air show on Sunday, June 8, where the Red Arrows will be the stars.
Duxford is well known as an RAF fighter base, but, during the First World War the airfield was a training depot, preparing pilots and crews for action against the Germans in France.
We would like to trace personnel who were based at Duxford in its first year of service, 1917-18, and invite them to the June 8 display as our special guests.
If any of your readers were here then, or know of anyone who was, then the Museum would be delighted to hear from them.
