Hi Corblimy and welcome aboard!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I like your pics.

Quote:No Saxon spoken, I just love the old way of spelling Essex! No, not North Weald, more interested in the hostilities only type, the ones carved out of requisitioned land, not the pre-war expansion period type.

There is the Westseaxna rīce, and that I think is pronounced something like Vestsuxna rreakh... rolled r and the ending aspirated as in loch; quite like the modern German Reich.

The Ēastseaxe did not seem to have such a stable kingdom; and I think that name refers more to the tribal groups. We have the Legend of Beowulf and we get from that North Jutland influences. But interestingly the version we have was recorded by monks in Wessex, in their slightly different language.

I have walked Spellbrook Lane West at Sawbridgeworth and seen some of those buildings. (I sometimes scroll through Google Maps and on line OS maps and search out interesting places to visit.)

Your site is fascinating!

Your earlier picture of an aviator viewed form the rear is of good enough quality to be selected for this week's POTW. And what I need really is a description of the plane, what the aviator is doing and the mission being re-enacted.

Cheers
