That HH-43 shot looks like Wethersfield again to me.

Certainly is, it’s close to where the MOD Police now have their shooting range, which I have had the pleasure of using, Hechler and Koch no less. During their last open day, late 80’s? the Red Horse Airfield Repair Unit spent the whole day detonating that runway with explosives and rebuilding it in record time, most impressive, they even provided a grandstand for our comfort.
I think that the hangar behind is now used to store the gliders and launch winches, it still has it’s sodium lights on every night.
My great regret is that living in Nottingham at the time, I never saw any of the classic Wethersfield airshows of the 60’s, some of the locals have great tales to tell about them, the last true airshow there, 88 I think, was the only time that I actually walked from my house to an air display, and bloody hot it was too that day, I remember the C141 getting stuck in the mud and by the time it did take off I was doing a barbecue in the garden and the sight of this thing just clearing Spains Hall was most impressive.
There’s still a lot of activity up there, a few months ago there was a contraversial night landing by C-17’s and C-130’s containing 4 Para and we are always subjected to the odd mock attack by Apaches.
We have also been told that Wethersfield would be used as a diversion airfield for hi-jacked aircraft, but they seem to prefer to snarl up Stansted instead.
A ‘Retired Airfield’ that has a life, even if it is under the Stansted flightpath, Coltishall take note.
