Interesting thread. I instructed locally for a time and always wondered about this fields origins and history.
About 5 miles south west next to and east abeam the M5 are the remnants i believe of another field quite visible from the motorway. The hangers and part of the runway can be seen and 1/4 mile SSW is the outline of a runway NE/SW.
Any information would be appreciated.
