After being contacted by Dustyone I did some searching on the net regarding the old Nazeing/Broxbourne airfield.

The only thing that kept on popping up was Leslie Kimm’s books “Wings over Nazeing” vol 1 & 2 and no other information or history.

So this looks like a trip down the library next year.

Try the Stapleford Flying Club at Stapleford Tawney – they took over the assets of the pre-war Herts & Essex Aero Club. When I learnt to fly with them back in the 1970s they had some magnificent scrapbooks which were packed with photos & cuttings from Broxbourne in the 1930s – they may still have them.
