Summary edit
| Description |
English: Rivenhall Aerodrome. This is the main runway of the former Rivenhall Aerodrome. It is one of the few in Essex to have survived with its full 100 feet width intact. Most have been robbed out to the width of farm tracks for hard core. Sadly Rivenhall too is about to suffer this fate see 229342. Rivenhall began operations in January 1944 using P51s these were later replaced with B26 bombers. The USAAF left the base in August 1944, RAF Sterling Glider tugs and SOE transports moving in during the autumn. The base closed in 1946.

Much information was gleaned from Graham Smiths book Essex Airfields In The Second World War.http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-category.php?category=44 |
