GB789 Hampstead Norrys
Originally called RAF Hampstead Norris it was built for WWII operations and was home to No. 15 Operational Training Unit relocated to Hampstead Norris on 1 June 1940. The airfield hosted a number of squadrons of Vickers Wellington bombers. The airfield was used extensively as a glider training station during the latter part of the war, many glider pilots were trained here in preparation for D-Day. It also had 33 Tiger Moths as training aircraft. The main role of the airfield was to ferry Wellingtons to Egypt, via Gibraltar and Malta.
On 15 March 1945 No. 13 OTU arrived with their de Havilland Mosquitoes and the airfield reverted to being a satellite of RAF Harwell.
The airfield is very easy to find if you have OBS as the Compton Beacon 114.35 (CPT) is located on the northern edge of the airfield.
