In its simplest form,"RAF" Menwith Hill is an American listening base. <br /><br />Glad you liked the logical leap, Laurie.<br /><br />Sally, how I agree about those lost sparks! I've found a camera most useful for capturing an image of whatever-it-was that inspired me. Those amazing ideas are so easily dislodged by the next layer of everyday life. <br /><br />There's a lot of such malevolent creatures about, Joan. :-)<br /><br />Made me think of a kind of corseted, swashbuckling "Passport to Pimlico" too, SueB. That idea hasn't gone yet. There was an early 20C novel "Tamarisk Town" about the area, but though I glanced through some pages online, I wasn't immediately drawn to read more. (Prefer the one in my head.)

Sometimes I do but mostly I don't but it never fades and may lie dormant for years before it bubbles up again.<br /><br />Ah yes. Menwith Hill. It always sends chills up my spine whenever I drive past.
