Airfield identification

…just to add

Airfield

Hi, I drive past this site now and again,
am i right in saying it is old RAF/USAAF Membury, near newbury, just over the wiltshire border into west berkshire ??
if you are traveling westbound there is a memorial in the carpark, which has a prop blade on it,
Base was used alot by C-47s in the war, a lot of famous battles started from that place, i believe, the airbourne troops tokk off for D-Day and arnhem from there , amongst many other airfields

Let`s know if you find out …S

ps, numbers on r/wy ends; you could also try the `what airfield `thread on Avition history on Pprune.org.
pps wot`s `edge detection` ,as there are a few `edges `on the photo !
