Ruddington
Note: This map only gives an approximate location. Any advice will be most welcome.
RUDDINGTON: Military Landing Ground
Military users: RFC (Royal Flying Corps)
38 [Home Defence] Sqdn (Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c, later F.E.2b)
Location: SE of Ruddington, just W of the A60, about 4.5nm S of Nottingham city centre
Period of operation: 1916 to 1917
NOTES: Apparently used only as a Night Landing Ground by 38 Sqdn, and - I love this detail, replacing TOLLERTON it seems. Which of course, much later, became the main aerodrome/airport for Nottingham in later years.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
