For any interested in the airfield itself here's a web link

The field was used by Bostons, Mitchells and Mosquitos during WW2.
Having spent a number of evenings in close proximity to the grass on night exercises with the ATC and RAF police I don't recall that it was underlain with PSP matting or mesh but although well drained, some areas were liable to waterlogging after rain and light aircraft were advised to keep well clear! Neither was it billiard table flat having a pronounced brow which made landings from the NW "interesting" (even in Venture T1) as the CT and hangers suddendly appeared FROM "nowhere"!
Thanks to Beeayeate (alias bywat) for starting this thread on WJ775 and for other PRUNERS for their recollections - curiosity satisfied!
