Flight Lieutenant Ernest Robert Woof My Grandfather served at RAF Biscester during WW2. His name was Flt. Lt. Ernest Robert Woof. He was a ground engineering officer. All my aunts and uncles were either born or brought up in the area. It is my plan to take my mother for a visit in the near future if possible at the location of the airfield.
