Footprints in the Air
"Maybe your dad worked for the CIA, KGB, military intelligence or something
along those lines. In searching the web there are sites for those who grew
up in the military or similar, but for people like us there seems to be
nothing. Most people don't even know we exist. This website is an attempt to
address that."

Footprints in the Air was a website devoted solely to those whose
parents worked within the intelligence community during the Cold War.

From 1942, Bushy Park became the site of a large U.S. base called Camp Griffiss,
headquarters to a number of the Allied departments. General Dwight Eisenhower
was averse to working in the centre of London during the Second World War.
He decided instead to make Bushy Park the Supreme Headquarters Allied
Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) centre for planning
Operation Overlord, the 1944 D-Day.

("..A short while later our Headquarters moved to a camp in Bushy Park near to Hampton Court Palace..")
[Page 2.]
In 1945 Bushy Park was converted into SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces)
which controlled the Normandy invasion; now commemorated by a small plaque at the north end.

If you don't know about 'Both Sides Now', it's an amazing
site for vinyl junkies, for old record biz people and even for just plain nostalgia folk. The discographies, Label Profiles, Pictures, Covers, etc.
although mostly LP and not Singles are a great addition to anyones
desktop. They certainly didn't
include all labels but there are enough to play with. I can't believe I didn't know about this site,
before now. Click and enjoy
