Notes about this historic site
1 ‘Three fields were brought into one to provide the space indicated on the AA sketch map and a fourth will soon be usable because the flagged ditches in the north corner are gradually being filled in.’

Comments
If I remember correctly the buildings that now stand in the south west corner of the site were originally ‘hanger type’ buildings probably associated with the airfield and werre occupied for a time by the WarAg after the end of the WWII. Prior to that I believe the WarAg occupied a site somewhere around the Rugby Road area.
