Octane's post inspired me to consult Google satellite view, at
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@27.12.../data=!3m1!1e3 The circular outline is unmistakable although the area has been developed, its buildings including the Juvenile Justice Department.

If one Googles Carlstrom Field by name, a marker appears about 5km west of the circular estate, obviously off course. Go another 500m (end of Thompson's Lane) and there is a grass runway, to one side the unmistakeable outline of a DC3.

The text notes that 23 British trainees rest forever in the Arcadia cemetery.
