Flying B26 Marauders of 320th Bombardment Group (Medium), 310th Bombardment Group (Medium) from 1943 also used as a training airfield for B-24s by other 2nd Air Division Groups and also from B24s from 389th Bombardment Group (Heavy). operational squadrons of 389 on completion of the base were 564th Bombardment Squadron (YO), 565th Bombardment Squadron (EE), 566th Bombardment Squadron (RR) and 567th Bombardment Squadron (HP). After the yanks pulled out the RAF moved back in training A Polish RAF Squadron of Mustangs. The base shut in 1948. Bits are still visible as it's now owned by Lotus who drive cars up and down the remaining runway, the T1 and T2 hangers are intact as are various other periphery building, nice eh. There's more about all these here along with lots of other stuff. www.invisibleworks.co.uk/ghost-airfields-of-ww2-part-1/
