RAF Abbots Bromley

RAF Abbots Bromley is a former Royal Air Force Relief Landing Ground located north-west of the village of Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire. The airfield opened during 1940 and closed on 31 March 1949 being the satellite of RAF Burnaston.

Based units

The following units were here at some point:

Relief Landing Ground for No. 5 Elementary Flying Training School RAF flying de Havilland Tiger Moths
Relief Landing Ground for No. 16 Elementary Flying Training School RAF between June 1941 and July 1945
Sub site for No. 21 Maintenance Unit RAF between May 1945 and March 1949

The airfield was also used after the Second World War for storing ammunition.

Current use

There is currently not much of the original site left partly because of the fact it had grass runways and partly due to the period of time elapsed however a guard house and a single Robin hangar remain with part of the site becoming a chicken farm.
