Brize Norton? Whitleys training paratroops or set up for towing gliders? Say...mid '42 onwards after Whitleys removed from bomber ops.

No Kitty, good guess but we have already established it was 1942 and using Whitleys that went out of service in 1942.

A clue is that it is an operational para drop they are about to make.
