Framed Print of RAF Binbrooke cut off during the winter of 1947
An aerial view of the airfield and aerodrome buildings at Binbrooke, Lincolnshire, as men came out from their huts to pick up the supplies which had been dropped by two Dakotas of Transport Command. For several days during one of the harshest winters in Britains history, Binbrooke was cut off from the outside world, and this was the only way to ensure the arrival of rations. The two Dakotas made the flight over Binbrooke dropping sufficient rations for 1200 RAF personnel, including a contingent of WaFS. In all, ten panniers were dropped weighing 180lbs each and for the most part containing meat and bread. Coloured parachutes were used in order to ensure they would be seen against the background of the snow.
