WHAT AIRFIELD?

I've just brought up Greenham Common up on GE. Even rotated 180 degrees, I can't be absolutely certain, the surrounding vegetation being so changed over the decades. Still my best guess though.

Greenham Common is my conclusion too. The image has been photographed in a south westerly direction from over the bomb store. Initially, because it appeared like New Forest, I figured Stoney Cross.

Well done.

The accidental clue that I gave is in the image metadata. Right click on the image, select Properties, and in the mass is my name for the file which includes 'Greenham Common'!

Its the Crookham Common end of Greenham Common looking South. Its where the CG-4a gliders were unpacked and assembled.

This one is more difficult. Again, the images are courtesy of the US Archive Fold3.

The caption for both images is the same:

'Aerial view of 490th QM Depot in England 03 March 1945'

Two images, same area but from opposite directions:





A contributor to Fold3 has added a comment correctly identifying the two aircraft but naming the location as Greenham Common which is incorrect.

I have identified the airfield but, can you?

North Witham.

No and no.......

Yes, a bomb store but it is not remote from the landing area......

Hi Peter,

Is it RAF Welford, between Newbury and Lambourn

No, sorry.....

Greenham Common?
