RAF Kingston Bagpuize
RAF operations started in January 1942 as a Relief Landing Ground (RLG) with No.20 (Pilots) Advanced Flying Unit ((P) AFU) used the airfield as a satellite for the Airspeed Oxfords, but left in July.The works were completed by January 1944 when the USAAF Ninth Air Force moved in.[3] Their main use for the airfield appears to have been the testing of wire mesh as a runway surface, and some intensive testing was done from March to May, mainly with large numbers of Republic P-47 Thunderbolts and several Douglas C-47 Skytrain transports.[2] The testing was completed by August 1944 when the airfield was handed over to 3 MU who used it for storage.
