| I was misled into thinking that this cut of the corn was a field boundary, it is not. |

| An interestingly flat and rectangular small field or stock enclosure pattern. |

Not sure these are that 'flat'. As the horizon (top-right) slants to the right, these fields may actually be sloping down to the left slightly. |

This is the only area of the image where I have any concerns about what I can see in the photograph and what I can identify on the map. On the maps which are available I see large fields in this area but in the photo I see an area which is divided up into smaller enclosures. I think that the incompatible structures and divisions may be temporary but I shall try to research further. |

Don't get too excited - rationing was still in place, although it was often easier in the countryside to find a good meal! |

I've been having a good look at Barwythe Hall near Studham but I can't get it to fit. |

I've had another good look just at this house and I have to say that I am almost 100% certain that this is Amersfort Hall near Berkhamsted. Comparing the building in the photograph with the image on Google Earth the main house is identical. In the original photo there are two outbuildings which have now gone but in my view this is Amersfort as identified by Tom Robin. In detail there are five attic windows along the main roof and an attic window in the each of the extensions at each end of the long roof. There are two attic windows along the left hand roof. In my view there is too much that is right for this to be anywhere else. |

 The location given by TomRobin is in my opinion correct, the biggest single problem in making the field boundaries fit is the fact that there are such massive elevation changes across the picture, if you drop into street view on bullbeggers lane just to the west of bullbeggers wood you will see what I mean. The track across the field in the forground with the van on the corner can clearly be seen on google earth, particularly on the 12/2003 image, and Class 31s break in the corn is also the track, however the field boundaries on that hill side have been removed, though their traces can still be seen in some google earth images. As for the missing small enclosures in the background I attach a image to show where I think they are |

I even tried using a mirror but I don't think that it has been reverse printed. |

Well done TomRobin. Persistence pays off. This photo is on display at the exhibition at the RAF Museum and we now know where it is located. |

Hi TomRobin, Regrettably I need some more clarity on this image's location. Are you suggesting that the grid pattern in the fields at the very top centre of the image represents The Pheasantries, or Balshaw Nurseries? I'm afraid I can't make the field boundaries fit well-enough with the wooded areas (especially Gutteridge Wood) that have been and still are in this area. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

Maybe Amersfort near Potten End |

Judging by the sun, we are looking west. So with the rising land to the south it maybe the chilterns escarpment. |

At the Britain From Above Exhibition at the RAF Museum a little more information is available about this photo. We are told that this photo is shown in the original Aerofilms records as near Berkhamstead (sic) There is a possibility that this information may narrow down the area to search. |

EAW010103 is at Tring and EAW010105 is at Wednesfield. Assuming this shot was on the same flight as those, then the location may be in Buckinghamshire or Northamptonshire - or possibly - Warwickshire |
