Just stopping to get gas in Marstons Mills
Barbara Clark
Back in 1930, a single-engine DeHavilland Gipsy Moth aircraft stopped off for a refill at the Cash Market in Marstons Mills.
There were no refueling capabilities at the Marstons Mills Airfield at that time, and though it’s not known exactly what brought the biplane in for a landing there, in order to fly out again, the plane had to be towed to the market to be gassed up.
A vintage photo taken at the scene appears on T-shirts and hoodies being sold locally to raise money for the Marstons Mills Historical Society.
