As the year draws to a close, I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to all those of you who have continued to follow, read, comment and share a common interest with me here at Aviation Trails.

The last year(s) has simply flown by, with almost 70 trails having now been reached. Many visitors have passed through sharing their own experiences or family stories, adding that ‘little extra’ to the trails. The number of airfields I have now visited has increased to over 120 stretching from Scotland in the north to Kent in the south, from the eastern regions to the west of England; a huge area but one in which there are still many, many more airfields and sites yet to visit.

With new resources becoming available, I have manged to update many of the older, original pages with more information, much of which has taken the bulk of my blogging time.

So as 2025 approaches, I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all, wherever you are, a very happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Finally, in memory of my father whose experiences and love of aircraft inspired me, is one of his Christmas dinner menus, a festive feast whilst serving in 324 Wing, RAF Deversoir in the early 1950s.

Merry Christmas one and all!
