This 1932 ‘R.A.F Edition (War)’ of the Ordnance Survey Aeronautical Map Eastern Counties (.S) is a bit lacking in detail, but fine for use at height. Features noted include Airship Hangers and any Chalk Hill Figures of note.

Ordnance Survey Map of Evesham, 1983

Took a moment to work out what the hell’s wrong with this ‘modern’ OS map…

Turns out what I thought was a fairly recent map is the one I’ve been using since the 80’s, before the Evesham Bypass was laid. 1983 is officially ‘Vintage’😳
