Pictures Little Staughton Airfield
I moved to this area in 1973 and lived on what was Basmead Barns Farm it was at the corner of Building Site 6 and site 6 was our property at this time
we had several Air raid shelters on there and a lot of old buildings.
Any how with growing up there from the age of 15 through to mid 20’s I would say I explored just about every piece of the old Airbase I have some photo’s I think from this period and I have copies of the Base plans and some arial shots from 1942 44 & 47
On my interest in the place now I would like to find the location of where the USAAF buried a bunch of equipment ie Engines, parts, and Vehicles.
I know for a fact they actually did this as the old game keeper I new back then witnesed this being done, I have narowed the area’s possible down to a few locations but would appreciate a little info if anyone knows anything about this.
We did dig up some stuff back in the late 70’s but nothing major, most people have just found a couple of Trash dumping grounds.
I do remember some old military vehicles that were abandoned there but they were pretty bad condition back then so probably completly gone now.
