RAF Gaydon -EGWG

Post by Nigel Edwards »

Hello folks,

I'm trying to build a representation of RAF Gaydon during the late 50's early 60's but I'm struggling to find information. I've managed to find out the airfield layout roughly but would appreciate any help, particularly an airfield diagram, which ramp the OCU used, runway lengths etc

If you don't ask you don't get!!

Best wishes

I lived at Gaydon as a child, so I'll be grabbing this. Well done, Nigel.
