Yatesbury is a village in Wiltshire, England. It is next to Cherhill, 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the A4 road between Calne and Marlborough.
The Church of England parish church of All Saints has 12th-century origins and is Grade I listed. The church has a canonical sundial on the south wall. The parish is part of the Oldbury Benefice, which comprises the five parishes of Calstone Wellington, Cherhill, Compton Bassett, Heddington and Yatesbury.
Opened as an aerodrome in World War I, RAF Yatesbury continued operations in the interwar years before again taking on a major role in World War II. From 1936 onwards, RAF Yatesbury and RAF Compton Bassett were major Radio and Radar Training Schools, RAF Townsend was a satellite landing ground and RAF Cherhill was part of No 27 Group in Headquarters Technical Training Command. It was the oldest airfield in the whole of Europe and is the only airfield in the world of its age that is still is such good condition. In the village church there are reminders of its military past, with a small number of war graves from the two major conflicts.

This is a short film produced for my personal project at Uni. Now bell ringing isn't everyones taste, but this is designed to show you the technical side of things - rather than just an overview.

Madras war cemetery was established by the commonwealth war graves commission who fought under the British during World War II. Established in 1952 by the Imperial War Graves Commission, Madras War Cemetery was built to honour the lives of all those men and women who sacrificed their lives in World War II. It is home to almost 856 Common wealth burials of the Second World War. People from many different nationalities like UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, West Africa and India are buried here. Located on the Mount Poonamalle road, the cemetery is just 5 kilometres from the airport and a kilometre away from Saint Thomas Mount. Though a restricted area, those who prefer silence or are history buffs would love to pay a visit to this place. Source: https://www.makemytrip.com/travel-guide...

You could travel across Europe with Sheffield RAG and get rid of that library tan. All you'd have to do is solve cryptic clues, catch the right train, take in some Continental culture and then maybe win £1000. And you'll be raising money for some great charities. Tickets are £89 and you get an InterRail pass (worth £155), accommodation for the last night, end party entry, t-shirt, guide, and because Mum will ask, this event is covered by Students Union insurers. The event is for charity so you have to raise a minimum of £265 in sponsorship. We will provide plenty of fundraising opportunities to help...

Simon, Stephen Green, and Mark Rippetoe for a spectacular Second Amendment program called Bullets & Bourbon ( http://www.bullets-and-bourbon.com ). The event will be held at Rough Creek Lodge ( http://www.roughcreek.com/ )which is a fantastic venue in Glen Rose, Texas (about an hour and a half south of Dallas). In May, my wife and I visited Rough Creek Lodge equipped with a a DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus drone we rented from EyeInTheSkyRentals.com to produce the above clip. We only used about 30 to 45 seconds of drone footage in this clip as we also wanted to highlight Rough Creek Lodge's spectacular dining room and first class target shooting and hunting facilities. There are much l...
