Side entrance to Snitterfield Airfield The derelict building used to guard the entrance to this war time airfield from Gospel Oak Lane.  The airfield still occupies most of this and the adjoining square to the north, however its main use these days is for light aircraft and as a base for a Gliding Club.

Comyns Farm Seen looking south from Gospel Oak Lane. The farm is currently unoccupied and falling into dereliction.  An estate agent's board nearby advertises it for sale, presumably as "ripe for improvement"!

Glider Launch at Snitterfield airfield Looking NW from near the SW corner of the square as a glider is launched by a winch tow.  The small speck just forwards of the glider is the recovery chute to control the end of cable once it has been released by the glider.

The template This probably-Georgian farmhouse in Bearley, Warwickshire, seems to have served as a template for a modern, executive-style housing development virtually next door, which has copied the look to give Instant Heritage appeal. But this is the original and best.
