Hey folk,
I'm trying to track down the airfield in this picture, it was during its construction. Any help would be appreciated.

Will do thanks. :ok:



Edit

Can admin move this to the AH&N forum so I don't create multiple posts on the same topic? Cheers

Do you have the original photo? - If so is there anything marked on the reverse?

Is it Enstone? Looks a bit like it.

Don't thinks, I orientated GE to roughly the same as the old photo and it has a different configuration.

Hi DT
I am fairly sure it is Keevil

RAF Keevil it is.
Fields and hedges are still there.

Modern image on www.flashearth.com at posn 51 deg 18' 44.1"N 002 deg 6' 44.0"W.
Shows a complete taxiway in the foreground; was the original picture taken when under construction?
