How we owe so much to so few.

[Gil Boyd]

RAF Tempsford is a base near me and was the Lysander airfield to take SOE agents into France during WW2. The buildings including Gibraltar Barn are still there today, where they were briefed.

One such agent was Viollette Szarbo who at the latter stages of the war was caught and executed with other SOE agents in France.
The film CARVE HER NAME WITH PRIDE is a remarkable view of how it was. Her five year old daughter went to Buckingham Palace to recieve her George Cross from the King.

Highly recommended viewing, watch out for the smokey room!!
LEST WE FORGET
