RAF Tatenhill

[3] The design was the wartime RAF standard of three co-intersecting runways, east-west, north-south diagonal.The east-west runway was the only one suitable to safely accommodate bomber take off and landings (1,600 yards (1,500 m)) which hampered its operability.[4] It was used as a bomber crew training field, which continued in varied training functions until 1944 with Vickers Wellington, Airspeed Oxford and Avro Anson aircraft for RAF Bomber Command.Later a single engine training unit arrived using the Miles Master aircraft.[5] The airfield had a bomb dump on the south-east side and a number of frying pan dispersals were built on land to the north of the B5234 road, with hangars in this area too.
