Another explore with my long suffering..she actually liked this one!!Met the Farmer called Basil,who was ok with us exploring as long as we didnt put the pics online!
Info:
RAF Charmy Down was a World War II airfield in England located approximately three miles north of the centre of Bath, Somerset on a flat top hill between the A46 and Catherine's Brook. During the war it was used by the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force as USAAF station 487.
Charmy Down airfield was opened late in 1940 and originally had a grass surface with landing strips of 4,125ft, both south-east to north-west and north-east to south-west. The airfield soon gained a 50ft wide tarmac perimeter track and 39 aircraft dispersal points. These were 12 double pens and 15 single standings. Eventually, 12 Blister hangars were erected round the site.
Well,that was Charmy Down...there is a lot more to be seen,but we ran out of time sadly.
Many thanks for looking.
