Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gosfield Airfield. This is the crossing point of the Perimeter track and the end of a runway on the former Gosfield Airfield. Gosfield operated from 1943 initially as a fighter station using P47’s, later the base was returned to its intended use as a bomber field operating A20’s. Late on in the war C47 Dakotas operated Horsa gliders from the base. Today there is a community woodland, industrial units and the Consumers Association 221160 on the base.

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