WW2 Airfields and Pots of Arcadia


The Plateau at Profitis Ilias at some 7000ft above sea level that was the site of a Luftwaffe airfield from where Stukas took off to raid Crete. Some say that the British parachuted here (presumably SOE) but I'm still researching all of this.


In which we discover the sight of a second world war airfield that was so hidden and secret that I can't for the life of me find any historical references to it. There is also a small study of chimney pots in our mountain village and there might be a small prize for the first one to guess which one belongs to Mrs N's house!

    I didn't realize that pots come in so many varieties. Ours are generically boring, all the same square/rectangular brick style, except of course yours which is Pot B.
