That would be telling - but not far away.......................... giving up the joys of Exurban SE England for the bucolic delights of Wessex

I think they're mad TBH

I don't think they are mad - I live in Wessex.

The challenge looks like a 'bootiful' airfield with possibly the remnants of ICBM lanch pads. I can't find which one though!

Henstridge Airfield (ICAO code – EGHS). It was built during World War II as a training base for the Fleet Air Arm, who commissioned it as HMS Dipper. Visitors can still see the concrete outline of an aircraft carrier deck embedded into its one surviving runway. The MOD sold the airfield in 1957 and today it is mainly used as a base for general aviation and is an active training centre for autogyros (gyrocopters). The airfield is the base for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance

SMOKEON,

You are clearly very good at identifying mystery aerodromes. How about posting one occasionally?
