You may well be right, the stations known as the "Clutch" all sat close by one another along the Dutch Border. They were all built from the Kartoffel Feldt up and were probably Historic as being the last original airfields built for the RAF from non-existence. All the commandeered airfields, bar one Guterlsloh, were handed back over to the new Bundes Luftwaffe during the late 1950s and early 1960s; Wahn, Fassberg, Wunstorf, Jever, Sylt etc. They all housed Tactical Strike Squadrons at one stage or another as well.
