Summary edit
| Description |
English: Former RAF buildings on disused airfield Former RAF (technical units) buildings near Wades Farm.
Work commenced in 1941 on this RAF airfield, which had three concrete runways, 37 hardstandings and seven hangars. During the early fifties it was used by USAF ground units and it was still reasonably intact until the 1980s. One of the hangars has since been used to hold bulk grain for an agricultural merchant; another is used by the Department of the Environment to store equipment and yet another by a warehousing company. The control tower has been demolished but portions of the taxiway are still used by light aircraft. For more detailed information on this airfield see http://www.raf.mod.uk/bombercommand/s21.html |
