[The Elusive]

Not much history wise about this place, Was open for 5 years, 1940-5, Used to be an overflow airfield then joined up to what now is a local airport.

The airfield consisted of two Sommerfeld Tracking runways, a concrete perimeter track, 1 T1 building and 8 Blister Hangars. Most of this infrastructure was added in 1942. Some of the original buildings remain in situ though the site has been returned to agricultural use. The control tower has been preserved.

Lots of bits to see but is on very private land with free roaming dogs and not many places to get in and hide..

Through the window I saw a rusted beauty, Dogs or not I had to risk it to photo the shit outta that...

Cheers for Looking
