A bit more information about this picture I first came across this picture in a feature in the Daily Mail on Line. It was captioned: "Commemoration: A group of men march up Market Hill, St Ives, Cambridgeshire, in this picture captioned Battle of Britain Parade, from 1960" I am not sure if the USAF ever took part in Battle of Britian parades, but it is possible that it might have done. The US airforce did some times participate in RAF Wyton's open days. However, think that it is more likely that they were taking part in the Mayor of St Ives parade. I had been searching for a picture of the Renezvous Coffee Bar as it was in the 1960s for quite a while, when quite by chance I came across this picture of American airmen from RAF Alconbury marching past The Rendezvous. It makes for an interesting picture on two counts because it shows the long gone Rendezvous Coffee Bar as it was in 1960, and American airmen parading in St Ives this is something that I was completely unaware of.
