Acton Hall
ACTON HALL: WW2 military airstrip?
NOTES: This was it for many years, just a cursory note gleaned from a source I cannot remember - and virtually nothing else known it seems - or is it? Just prior to making this entry in July 2016 I looked up ACTON HALL on the interweb and lo and behold I discovered that in 1939 the War Office requisitioned the site.
And, in 1943, the U.S. Army moved in with the 33rd Signals Construction Battalion and the 400th Armoured Field Artillery Battalion. So, it would now appear highly likely that Piper L-4s and/or Stinson L-5s (at least) conducting communication duties would have been landing here.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
