That's a brilliant website I'm gutted though just missed us off the pic in August 1945I just remembered a site that came up recently at an archaeology talk- Historic England have lots of old air photos and have added the USAAF air recon. photos from the war. They have a searchable map to see the coverage and our patch was photographed by a Lightning pilot just before D Day. Every detail of the farm can be seen as it was that day.

I got my dates mixed up on our photos, I read it as 8th May 1944 but it was taken by the Yanks so it was August 5th. I was looking at our neighbours' farm and couldn't figure out what the rows of dots were in May, but of course they were stooks. You can see the wagon at the end of the dots where they are loading it up. I was intrigued by our local airfield (Ibsley) where they had painted the hedgelines and field boundaries across the runways to disguise their shape.
It's only a small photo about 7x4. I don't think its a commercial photo , may have been taken by an Uncle who used to fly. He lived at Prees not that far from Ellesmere.
