I'll stand back on this one Pete.  I have the same photo in my family tree but I'm not giving any clues away :)  .

I am amazed at the name of villages - that appear from time to time - latest - Paddlesworth. ?
I must get out more - after ? - But did you know there was another Paddlesworth in Kent.
Situated near Snodland - 6+ miles from Rochester ?

Biggin Hill  -  "The Old Jail" or "The Aperfield Inn" seem to fit the clues.

Hi DTT - Yes it's a subtle clue but not fox hunting use of the phrase.  This pub does have a rather unusual name and of course the WW2 connection is important.
Chocks away!

Is that a  clue, JW?  If so is it something like the hare and hounds, or Huntsman?  No idea of location, however.
