Biggin Hill WW2 RAF 'Field Kitchens'.

I am making enquiries, for someone, about Field Kitches that were set up near Biggin Hill airfield as a safe haven for air and ground crew alike during the war. After the war these kitchens were abandoned and the entrances sealed.

Can anyone tell me more about these, where they were and if they still exsist?

Tony.

You’ll probably have better luck in the Historic Aviation forum….

Thanks for the move Grey Area.

Try contacting the RAF Mobile Catering Support Unit (MCSU) – or whatever they’re called these days. They are probably in one of these Expeditionary Air Wings (EAW) – try Wittering for starters. MCSU are unlikely to know about Field Kitchens at Biggin Hill (they are, after all, junior to the Mobile Met Unit in the RAF Unit Pecking Orders!!!), but they will probably know who does!
