DURING and after the Second World War, from 1941 to 1946, an airfield was sited adjacent to and within Westonbirt Arboretum. I am investigating various aspects of this airfield and its contribution to the war effort. I am particularly interested in how the airfield functioned and any first-hand account would be very valuable.

Contributions and comments from anyone who may have been associated with this airfield site or whose relatives were so associated would be very welcome and are warmly invited.
