Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Boxted Airfield This shows what appears to be part of a dispersal and the remains of the perimeter track of the former Boxted airfield in the parish of Langham north of Colchester. Using the normal naming convention this would have been Langham Airfield but there was already an RAF station of that name in Norfolk. The station was operational from May 1943 until November 1947. Various USAAF fighter and bomber groups operated from here. When the field was finally stood down the RAF fighter command were operating Meteor jets from the base. You can see the remains of the main runway at 251911, there is a memorial at 252033. To go to the next field in an alphabetical tour of Essex WW2 airfields click on 242171. Much information was gleaned from Graham Smiths book Essex Airfields In The Second World War. http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-category.php?category=44 |
