Hello

Please could any kind person help me in search of information with Amercian airbases that would have been in or near Chester UK. I am aware of Burtonwood and the website, just wondering if there were anymore.

Kind regards
BB

just a quick search found this on SEALAND
"It was originally a civilian airfield and was taken over by the military in 1916 for training. No 30 Maintenance unit was formed there in 1939. In 1951 the base was taken over by the United States Air Force, and handed back to the RAF in 1957."

not the ear your looking for im afraid
