RE USAAF Airstrip

[Martinburney]

Hi all

I am still trying to locate a particular USAAF wartime airstrip at Barnstaple.

It may have been used by the US Army 58th Armoured Field Artillery Battalion.

Located East of Barnstaple, possibly on a slope or hill, alongside a wood, with a stone wall running along one boundary.

Any ideas.

Regards Martin

Only one I can think of is Chivenor, EGDC, but it's just west of Barnstaple.

East of Barnstaple are just the hills leading up to Exmoor -- totally unsuitable for a strip. There's nothing there and as far as I know never has been. How far are you talking about?
