[ B][I]Airfield built in 1943 for 8th Air Force (USAAF) but actually used by RAF No 3 Group of Bomber Command - essentially a Stirling bomber base during 2nd WW. Closed 1950. During the Cold War used as fighter base by USAAF from 1951-8. In 1957 nuclear store built and later, when planes had gone, airfield was used for Thor missiles (in 1959).
Part of site now used as industrial estate. |
We used to go to a great classic car show in the 80/90's at RAF Woodvale in Southport until they discovered what was just underneath the surface of the grass, Asbestos.Lots of it
That show was cancelled forthwith & taken off the classic car calender.
