Hi Sue, Further to my earlier reply and also in respect of Lancelot's reply. I have spoken to a local historian friend of mine and he advises that the airfield buildings were taken over by ICI after WWII and used as storage sheds for pelletised plastics. He knows because he was the ICI engineer responsible for the maintenance of the buildings! He also advises that a group of local enthusiasts is preparing a book for publication "imminently" that will include material about the airfield. regards, Peter Appleton My Family Tree website: http:/www.tribalpages.com/tribes/pappleton3
Further to that the local pub the Mermaid used to have it's wall covered in photos from the First World War airfield. The place was re-furbished and the photos have gone. No-one seem to know where.
