RAF Wellesbourne Mountford, in 2009
Written by Brian Mann
Re visited Wellesbourne, The airfield is used for private flying, clubs,pilot training and museum etc. The old campsite is now private housing estate, the hangers area is now an industrial estate. The airfield buildings are on the oposite side. Good to go back, had a short flight in light aircraft to complete the experience.RAF Wellesbourne Mountford, in 1956

At the Air Day in 1956 a good crowd was anxiously awaiting the highlight of the flying display which was US Sabre Jets display team - they never did arrive, they performed over another airfield probably Gaydon and then buggered off. I was reminded of this on a recent visit to Wellesbourne. In the Cafe on the airfield they have a poster of the 1956 Air Day. We urks spent the rest of the day clearing litter from the field, happy days!
