Flight over Littondale The upper part of Littondale near Halton Gill, visible on the right of the picture. In the centre of the picture, virtually on the same level as the camera, is an RAF trainer aircraft with black and yellow wings just starting the turn to the left to continue up Littondale and over Foxup, not visible from here. Note the aircraft shadow on the hillside on this gloriously sunny day.
