At Stapleford Aerodrome, April 1960
Despite the passage of years, this shot proved quite easy to locate. The old hangars (of 1930's or 40's origin?) along the northern perimeter of the aerodrome are still there - as shown in contributions by Phillip Perry https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1208899 and Glyn Baker https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/255692
A sequence of photos I took the same day shows that the hangar is at the western end of the row of five. There were minor buildings a little to the left (W), but those have now gone.
The aircraft in the foreground is a Tiger Moth (de Havilland DH82A) belonging to the local aero-club, the Stapleford Flying Group. At the time, ex-RAF 'T-Moths' were used by the majority of flying-clubs up and down the country. Behind the Tiger is another de Havilland biplane type - a DH87B Hornet Moth.
The camera I used in April 1960 was the family box Brownie. The date is in no doubt - it's there in my dreadful schoolboy scrawl on the back of a contact print. The image submitted to Geograph was scanned from a larger print made many years later.

Footbridge and ford, River Roding
The concrete ramp of the ford is seen at the right. It is private and gated, giving farm access to fields on the near bank from the A113. The depth gauge on the near bank was showing 0.9 m on the reverse side - the river was rather high after recent rain. The footbridge is for public footpaths.

Private ford across River Roding
For field access. At the time a depth gauge showed 0.9 m, it would normally be a good deal less.
