Summary
[edit]DescriptionStapleford Tawney Airfield - geograph.org.uk - 255680.jpg |
English: Stapleford Tawney Airfield This is Stapleford Tawney Aerodrome. This civilian flying field was used by the Air Ministry in the immediate pre war years to train RAFVR pilots including Johnny Johnson the top scoring RAF pilot of WW2. At the outbreak of war it was soon requisitioned and transmogrified into RAF Stapleford Tawney. Various types operated from here including Whitley Bombers used to drop agents into occupied territory although Hurricanes also used the base. In 1943 the base was handed to the army for army cooperation duties. It had the uniquely bad luck to be hit by twice by V2 rocket attack! The airfield ceased military operations before the end of the war. To go to the next field in an alphabetical tour of Essex WW2 airfields click on 66964. 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 |
