I did a site survey as a member of the Airfield Research Group just before closure.
Memories include the haunted officers' mess, a tree it was considered bad luck to touch, and the UKADI building, which was shrouded in secrecy. If I can find the ARG Journal from back in the day I'll let you know.
The site was far, far larger than the Kingsway village site.

There was a Meteor T7 (WF784) on the gate for many years. It's now at Staverton.

WF784 moved down to St Athan last year. She's now with SWAM.
