As a spotty 17 year old, I used to go to Tranwell on a Sunday with loads of other bikers, to ‘tear up’ a strip of the airfield. Back then, I didn’t know it as an airfield, merely a piece of land to run up and down at warp factor 10 on my motorbike with like minded individuals.
In my sprinting days I got to ride on quite a few, Bovingdon,Weston Zoyland,Bitteswell,Radlett,East Kirkby,North Weald,Wisley,York,Poddington,Long Marston, spring to mind.
I remember W Zoyland had a huge dungheap at the top end with a gap in it, if the weather had been wet in the preceeding weeks used to get covered in ****e!. Blackbushe had a couple of JU 52’s parkedup there for years.
