If your cycling past Twinwoods industrial site near the the Old Thurleigh Airfield, Bedfordshire have a look through the gate at the water tower.

I rode through the old airfield a while back.
It’s where Glenn Miller’s final flight took off from.

Another oddity about the airfield is the sunken road that connects to Thurleigh village. It was lowered allegedly to prevent any potential collision with the Brabazon airliner that needed a very long runway to take off and was due to be tested at Thurleigh but I believe the project was scrapped soon after.

It was on a very busy fast section of road, more likely me that was wonky

Is the second post box a wartime austerity version? Looks much simpler in style and graphics .
