Looking down Rivenhall’s main runway 10-28. Although suffering the effects of over 50 years of weathering, the runway is still intact in 1996. Beyond the trees and to the right of the runway would have been the bomb store. This area has already been cleared for gravel extraction.

Buildings on the communal site photographed in 1996. To the left is the generator house, and to the right the gymnasium. Later when the RAF occupied the airfield this building was converted into the station cinema.

More communal site buildings as photographed in 2001. This building is believed to have housed the barbers shop, shoemaker, and tailors shops. © Paul Clouting
