this ditch is shown on the 1922 OS 1:2500, but it's gone from the 1974 map

This is the same location as EAW042925. The newish houses are the same.

Helicopter is a Westland Dragonfly. G-AJOV apparently 'had the claim to fame in that it inaugurated the World's first ever scheduled helicopter service that operated between Liverpool and Cardiff'. [Source www.airliners.net]

It was built under licence from Sikorsky and I think is preserved at RAF Cosford
