| This is the approximate position of the runway threshold to runway 07 built in later years. Note the lines along the grass - this field may have been used for flying or ground runs. It certainly forms part of the modern airfield.

This view shows the aerodrome as viewed from the NNW showing Old Hall Lane, which runs along the present day western airfield boundary, together with the meandering track of the River Dean. The AV Roe hangar/assembly shed is on the same site of the current flight sheds on the south side of the airfield. Sadly, with the cancellation of the Nimrod MRA4 project in 2010, the British Aerospace facility has been closed and sold for redevelopment. |
