Unknown locations photographs

It's definitely Crookham Common, since absorbed by the eastern extension to RAF Greenham Common.

Rough and ready image showing the features in the above photo:


1: "The Corner", still extant.
2: "Park Lodge", still extant.
3: Hutted camp
4: cottage
5: Approx Butler hangar location

All the best,

Any idea of the measures of this type of Buttler Hangar... ?

Station 429 at Crookham Common was on the former Crookham Common Golf Course, marked on the 1930s OS maps.
In 1923 the course was relocated westwards onto Greenham Common ("The Newbury Club"), and the 1st, 14th and 15th (southernmost) fairways of the new course later had RAF Greenham Common built over them with the remainder turned over to agriculture during WWII. The new course has since been partially reinstated, and the site of the old Crookham course was obliterated by the post-war eastward expansion of RAF Greenham Common.

PNK, the site visible in your air photo is Newbury Racecourse, another US depot in WWII.
I'll see if I can find any further info.

EDIT to add:
Newbury Racecourse was the site of one of the main US Army (not AAF specific) Supply Depots from 1942, and was in use until 1946-47. It even gets a mention in Hansard in the post-war years.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen that photo before and it was identified as Crookham Common.

Here's a couple more photographs I've found. Can anyone identify where they were taken?

Lockheed P-38 at an Irish Base. Which base?



RAF "Boston III" equipped with rocket launchers on the outboard wings. Where?

I would guess that the P38s are at either Sydenham or Langford Lodge.

As for the Boston, I reckon Ford.

The hangar under construction is at Matching,Essex.
