Steve it does not matter that the runways have been posted before it is always nice to see someone elses pictures as they may have a differant angle to them . So i would love to see the rest of you photes including any thing else related to the airfield as i am sure so would other people on AIX . After all that is what this is all about .

I have been told that plans are a foot to build houses on what remains of Ashbourne Airfield, can anyone shed any more light on this rumour?

**Bomber** · 05-02-2013, 22:04

Have just been on Google to see if there is any truth on the rumour .It apears that some houses have already been built on part of the airfield & are now being ocupied . More could be built in the coming year or so .One report mentiond a posible total of 400 houses but that figure is not set in stone .

Nothing shown on the Planning Applications site that I just looked at. Plenty of minor apps.

I have tried to get a plan of the RAF Ashbourne dispersed sites from RAF museum. I ordered them in December and they are very slow. The guys from after the battle were very speedy, but no longer have access to the originals. If anyone can help please would you contact me offline on ianddavidson@hotmail.co.uk.

I have seen reference to a book, which I would be interested to know more about.

Thanks and regards

Ian
