Summary
| Description |
English: Wethersfield Hangars. These are examples of the US Air Force hangars on the former RAF Wethersfield. The airbase is now home to the M.O.D Police & Guarding Agency H.Q and Training Centre http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/WhatWeDo/SecurityandIntelligence/MDPGA/ . Wethersfield had a long a difficult birth. It took 2 ½ years before it became operational. After a brief spell as a reserve landing field for RAF Ridgewell the 416th Bomb Group of the 9th USAAF took up residence in early 1944 flying A20 Havocs. During the Cold War the base operated among others F100 Super Sabres. It was the last of the 23 wartime airbases in Essex to remain operational. Today Air Cadet Sailplanes are 221199 and are the main aircraft traffic. |
