Avonmouth
Note: This map only gives the position of Avomnouth in the UK. Today the area is a vast industrial and commercial estate, but it would have been very different in WW2. If anbody can kindly offer advice on this subject, this will be most welcome.
AVONMOUTH: Military airstrip
Military user: US Army Air Corps only?
Location: ?
Period of operation: 1944/5 only?
NOTES: There appears to be just enough, (although vague), information to support the existence of this site - presumably in the period prior to the D-Day invasion?
There is one small question, and this concerns Avonmouth being on the County boundary as I’d imagine a possible site would be more likely situated north of the River Avon? And therefore in GLOUCESTERSHIRE rather than in SOMERSET?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
