Moreton Valence airfield history
Does anyone have info about Moreton Valence airfield, which I believe was part of the Gloster Aircraft Company until the 1960s, and late that decade the runway became part of the M5, and I'm not sure what happened to the buildings and surrounding land.

Take a look at Moreton Valence - UK Airfield Guide.
I used to know someone who actually lived in a house built on the old airfield.
NB: Be careful, that website is habit forming.

If you look at google maps J12 of the M5, you can see whats left of it

I think the old hangars are/were in industrial use, and the Control Tower was on the other side of the motor way and may be still there as a house.
A large Pallet company was based there using the name.
