Alton Barnes
Major
Did you know?
"This is one place which has seen some rather unusual activities, whether true or not. Certainly an angry flying instructor once somehow managed to fly his Tiger Moth through a Blister hangar during 1944; more recently the immediate surrounding area has become a popular tourist attraction for people interested in the phenomenon of ‘crop circles’.
