Which Aerodrome Mk III
DDR, CZ,or Pol.....?
Kluczewo/Stargard.....former target...?...OH if correct...
Wartime thinking, according to a WW2 pilot (gliding instructor amongst other things) who I knew was that if you had a common intersection for all 3 runways, the enemy could bomb that intersection and knock out all 3 or them, hence it only occured very rarely.
Sorry I forgot, it's Hampstead Norris (aka Norreys) and OH. Out of shot to the left is the Compton VOR (CPT), the flat bit of green on the left is I believe a private airstrip; I've flown over it many times.

Later in WW2 Hampstead Norris was a Glider ORTU (Operational and Refresher Training Unit). My father was there in mid/late Dec 1944 flying Horsas (having converted onto type at Brize in late Nov/early Dec 1944), before going to B Sqn GPR at Earls Colne in Jan 1945.
