In the thread I started about a possible new/re-opened airfield in Kent, I mentioned going to St Marys Bay for school summer camp.
I went there in 1958 at the age of 8 along with some of my school chums and a couple of teachers, the first time any of us kids had been away without our parents.
I formed the opinion then that it was an old WW2 army camp and held this view for 60 odd years until recently when, on researching Littlestone Airfield, just north of the camp, I discovered it was actually built during WW1 and used by the RFC.
I wonder, did anyone else on here go there?
