Went back to Bourn this morning for another look.
ALL the buildings have now gone - including the Gymnasium/Chapel and the last aircrew huts, all swept away by the development of a 'new town' just a few hundred yards from the flying field. A new highway slices across one end of the old airfield which has now lost much of its 'remote' character. Inevitably, time marches on.....I'm glad I took many photos when I was here before.
But I still managed to stand at the end of the old main runway, to pay silent respect to all those who took off and wanted only to make it back to this strip of concrete....but never did.
