Cranfield

[BUMPFF]

Where can I find a history of RAF Cranfield (i.e. before it became Cranfield University)? Squadrons, types, role, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Bumpff,

For a short history of Cranfield, look here:

www.cranfieldexpress.co.uk/CranAir.htm

For a more detailed history, get hold of a copy of Action Stations 6: Military Airfields of the Cotswolds and Central Midlands by Michael J.F. Bowyer, published by Patrick Stephens Ltd.

I must admit to an interest in Cranfield - I live five miles away, directly under the approach to runway 22. Seen some very interesting things there! :ok:
