RAF Lichfield

After the top hat had dived into the canal, around the next bend were four old aircraft hangers and you could see some old taxiways. I therefore thought I would try and find something on the internet. Although our 3G connection is good for basic stuff it is very slow and sometimes falls over when I try and do searches but I did find something.

Well its near Fradley and its RAF Lichfield which has already had a large Tesco warehouse built on it and there are also plans to build a total of 5000 eco friendly houses on it.

During the war the 51MU Air Transport Auxillary was based their that prepared and delivered aircraft to their Squardons. These included Beaufighters and Mossquitos for the Israel Airforce.

There are rumours that a headless rear gunner haunts the airfield who walked into the propeller of a Lancaster bomber whether it was an accident or suicide we'll never know.
