Surprising how much still left here ,was opened in 1922 as RN-HMS Fieldfare,then taken over by RAF in WW2 as flight and bombing training. theoretically closed in 1947,but taken over by Americans in 1950's at time of Cold War and used to launch balloons,ostensibly for weather forecasting,but in reality as spy balloons equiped with cameras and sensors to pick up Russian activity,they were intended to drift across Russian air space and be picked up the other side ,but it did not prove very successful-
project mogul,linked to Roswell,and projects moby dick and genetrix possibly involved.
now an industrial estate but many hangars,pill boxes and air raid shelters still there.
