Title
Aberdeen Ice Rink
Description
This photograph of Aberdeen ice-rink shows a flurry of activity, possibly as a result of the events of 12th July 1940 when an enemy raider was chased over the city by Spitfires from Dyce. The Heinkel eventually crashed in flames over the ice-rink. The rink itself remained desolate after the war, being used as transport depot for a number of years. This oblique aerial photography looks south west and shows the junction of South Anderson Drive, in the centre, and Ruthrieston Road, in the foreground. The Headland Court housing development is now on the site of the ice rink.
