Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Great Stampford Aerodrome. This bridle path crosses the former Great Stampford Aerodrome. You can see from the picture why this level ground was chosen for an airfield. The runways were made from prefabricated metal tracking so there is no evidence of them now, although the perimeter track is still largely extant. The field was intended as a satellite to RAF Debden but after less than a year's operations Debden was reassigned to the USAAF. The site was then used by the RAF regiment as a training base until 1944. To go to the next field in an alphabetical tour of Essex WW2 airfields click on 38560. 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 |
