Walsh here , being Northern Irish and having an interest in the war years, I had no idea there would be so much facinating history of the period in my local vicinity .
Today my featured piece of local history is a reasonably local ( 20 miles away ) airfield that served an important function for allied bombers before heading off to the strategic bombing campaign in the ETO . Langford lodge . Finding out my grandfather was there as a civilian contractor was an added bonus.
Its always amazing finding out you have a connection to these major moments in history.
Please enjoy this excellent article from wartime NI.
