Anybody know when the FAA moved out of Burscough. I grew up in the that area late 40s early 50s but never saw an aircraft there. Lots of little black hangars but no aircraft.

Any road up here's one from the mid 1980s.

Purely a guess based on where I saw that airship in the late 80's - Deauville?

OBP:

Can't offer a really sensible suggestion other than Panshanger, but here's a website re HMS Ringtail, which you might find interesting:

Keith, (Miller by any chance?)

Not Compton Abbas. Flap40 is closest so far.

Merci.

Here's one found, scanned, and uploaded in a rush because Mme has called a 3-line whip on social activity this evening. I'm sorry about the quality, and what's more the airfield has been done before, evidently, but I hope from a very different angle. If anyone objects, I'll happily withdraw and call Maison Ouverte....
