Jags used the M55 (prior to it's opening) as 'proof' that they could operate in austere conditions, I'm sure someone will have a photo shortly.
And part of the M62 is built on top of what was RAF/USAAF Burtonwood, the hangars that featured along the dispersal track only disappeared in the last 5 or so years.
EDIT; see, told you...
