| These houses still exist at the east end of Graveley on the north side of the High Street. The distinctive long gardens are still in easily visible on Google Earth. Manor Farm is still there but the old farm house building has gone.
The camp is still shown on an Ordnance Survey Map - 6 inch scale - Cambridgeshire XXXVIII.NW Revised 1950 Published 1952.

| Papworth Road leading to the A1198 - and to the south, just over a mile away, is the famous Papworth Hospital where my wife worked for several years in the early 70s. I was stationed at RAF Wyton on 51 Sqn just to the north of Huntingdon. I spent 5 years there and I never realised there was an old RAF base just to the south of us. |
