Reading this thread made me think of how many I have airfields I have near by. Within a twenty mile radius I make it twenty two,
not counting WW1 Airfields and none airfield site eg Nocton Hall.

I note that most of those in the Reading, UK, area have not made mention of the WW1 airstrip from the Holy Brook at Coley, down past what is now the A 33 Relief Road to Fobney Meadow and the Kennet & Avon Canal. Not, perhaps, much used as it appears (in modern times) to be water-logged from about October to May. In fact, the area is known now as Reading-on-Sea!! But Coley and the Reading University early buildings, not far away, were used for the start of Tech Training Command.

RAF Riccall for me, only about a mile or so away. We often walk the dog on there and walk round what little remains.
