Airbases:
All of the airfields listed below are reachable during a day
trip from London with an expert British Tours Ltd
driver-guide.
It is estimated that a minimum of 7 hours would be needed,
8hrs if London is required, and 9 to 10hrs if a brief visit
to the Imperial War Museum Duxford is to be included. With
some of the more remote airfields more time would be needed
and it may not be practical to incorporate Duxford.
The
airfields sometimes had more than one name; where known the
alternatives have been added in brackets. Also, their names
do not necessarily match places that have those names today
- eg. the airfield named 'Debden' is about 28 miles away
from the real Debden!
Also note that every airfield in the UK had a station number
- these are given and will be a useful check to ensure that
we are going to visit the right place.

"...Sudbury was mentioned so there we
headed, having arranged lunch at the Swan at
Lavenham, but just prior to lunch we visited the
town's 13th century church. Inside was a U.S. flag
commemorating the funds by a U.S. wing for the
organ refurbishment. The flag said 'from the 487th'
and Mr Kelly commented that his wing was the
'486th' so some inquiries with the person cleaning
the church revealed that agricultural land a few
miles south of the village had been a base during
WW2. There it was, newly erected by the farm gate,
'in memory of those that served in the 486th' and
along a track we found the very hut where Mr Kelly
and his crew had slept their last night on English
soil..."
