So I came to find myself at Little Staunton, near St.Neots, which was a Pathfinder Force bomber station and where, in addition to almost daily trips on test flights in Lancasters following their servicing or repair, we worked in the bomb bay assisting with the bombing up of aircraft before they flew off on raids.

This was found via a web search, maybe I should have looked on http://www.controltowers.co.uk/L/LittleStaughton.htm, eitherway, Wittering could not have had a 5 mile strip.
