Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Wormingford Airfield This is the perimeter track of Wormingford Airfield. Military aviation in Wormingford began during WW1 however this aerodrome was operational from November 1943 until the end of the war, after the war it was used by transport command. The base was finally stood down in 1962. It was used as a civilian airfield for a further nine years. During the 1970s and 80s the hard standings and other infrastructure were broken up as the land returned to agriculture as the Air ministry had promised when all land was requisitioned for airfield construction (it is worth noting this promise was also made to the owners of the land at RAF Heathrow). In 1990 the Essex and Suffolk Gliding Club moved to the airfield they have a history of the airfield and the units that operated from here on their website see club info section http://www.esgc.co.uk/home.asp?start=esgchome.htm.

Much information was gleaned from Graham Smiths book Essex Airfields In The Second World War. http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-category.php?category=44 |
