 The photographing aircraft is on top the Newmains Road looking towards the Hangars which are to the left . They are South of the road; we must be looking west not north east as advertised. |

| Jenny's Farm, named after the owner, Jenny Gilchrist, operated all through the life of the airport. There were two spinster sisters who in the late 30s through 50s drove an old Bull-nose Morris. As a young child, my mother used to hide when they passed as they would shout "Hey, Bell" at her (she had 12 brothers and sisters and I guess the Gilchrists couldn't keep the forenames straight) "Come away for a lift hame". |

Could this be the Renfrew WW1 Air Station? |
