There is a huge Dish in the middle of the airfield and this must have something to do with Colerne being the main communications link to Germany for the MOD (supposed to be???!!!). The buried aircraft rumour could be true as Colerne housed at least 3 MUs at the end of WW2 (32 MU, 49 MU being two of them), there were aircraft dispersal areas in and around the land outside the boundary of the airfield itself countaining dozens of aircraft of various types.. .A C130 did crash, 10.9.73, a 48 SQR C1 crashed 50 yards behind the MQs and the station church in to Hazel copice. It was carrying out co-pilot training details, when it was overshooting from RW 07 with a simulated engine failure when the other engine on that side failed. At that height (400ft) and speed involved, the asymetric forces proved too much for the crew to contol and the Herc dived into the ground. The Captain was S/Ldr Tony Barrett, and all 5 crew sadly died.. .From the ATC tower you can see the difference in size and colour to the surrounding trees to the crash site trees, but the crash site itself I have not ventured as its either on Lucknam Parks land or that newly restored house next to it with a big 'Private property' sign up front.
