| ***Thats true Nigel,but take a closer look this airfield is further North that Sawbridgeworth,almost on the approach to Stansted,I am wondering if it could have been a relief landing ground of some sort ? Quote: |

| If you see the lat and long that is on the plan it is the same as the pic so it should be the same field | |

| ***So it looks as if it is the old Army Co-op Lysander base after all,what stories that could tell,pan in and the ground looks very odd,would the mesh still be in place I wonder ? Quote: |

| If you have Baginton & Honiley Nigel I would be very interested.
I should like to build a model of the former one,when I worked there,there were signs of bullet holes in the hangars,the Polish aircrew used to shoot birds out of boredom in the rafters,during the air raids on Coventry they wanted to get up in their Hurricanes,but they were forbidden to do so and went beserk.

| sorry late posting back here but just to assure you it is NOT sawbrideworth.....in fact it is about 7 miles away from sawbridgeworth and about 10 miles away from stansted airport. will go later today to get pictures!!!!
you right about runways...etc leaving darkened areas of grass/mud though so its all quite confusing! | |
