#291 is Bottesford?

#110 is Ingham (Cammeringham), just north of Scampton.
#82 right – how about Tengah? Or Seletar?

58 MU covered Lincs from its base in Newark – Sid Finn’s Lincolnshire Air War had a good chapter on them, plus detailed their recoveries.

[QUOTE=merlin70]Isn’t there a touch of irony here?

IIRC the field in which the development is planned was once part of wartime DX.

The construction of the M11 lopped a large chunk of the runway off. Not only has the M11 restricted fly ops due its initial construction but it now threatens them completely with this proposal for a MSA.

IIRC, the runway area lost when the M11 was built was the post-war extension, which is how the gits who planned the motorway in the first place got around the hoo-ha from aviation historians and enthusiasts, the original WW2 airfield was left intact, so to speak. Uncle Roger’s “Airfields of the Eighth – Then and Now” I think bears this out.

Not defending the gits though, the full 6000′ runway at DX would have allowed so many more possibilities. 🙁

Objection posted.

Luftwaffe WW2

Just to digress slightly, I’m interested in the WW2 Luftwaffe airfields, can anybody point me towards a good site for pictures of said airfields? I have a reasonable command of German, so .de sites would be OK too.

Many thanks
FF

Or should that be vielen danke…

Any chance of a pic or 2 on here?

Cheers
