Provenance
RAF Winfield, located near Paxton, Scottish Borders
Inherited from the current vendors mother, who was born at Winfield Farm. Their family had to move out during the war while the RAF requisitioned the farm and set up the airbase at Winfield. When the family returned to the farm after the war the clock was still in one of the buildings on the property. Retained by the family until being consigned for sale.
