Thank you Bob. Fascinating.
How much has changed but a lotis still the same. What amazed me was
the inclusion of Moreton-in-Marsh among war photos.

You still see the occasional Roadside tree with vestiges of the white
bands put on to aid drivers who had to use masked headlights in the
black out though age has now taken its toll on most that survived
road changes. More durable are the faded markings EWS painted on
many buildings denoting the site of a roadside water tank for use by
fire fighters if the mains was damaged/inadequate.
Just a random example here
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/77868 , most towns will still have an
example meaning nothing to most people who pass them now.

Or SWS Static Water Tank and there is still one at East Cowes. To the left
of you as you drive on the ferry at East Cowes!!

Some camouflaging has only just been painted over from the old Saunders Roe
site up near Osborne House.
