On Little Wilbraham Road in November The long narrow plantation marks the line of part of the main runway of Bottisham Airfield (1940-6), which at first had a grass runway. According to the American Air Museum in Britain website “The P-47 Thunderbolts of the 361st Fighter Group damaged the surfaces of the airfield so much in the first months of flying from Bottisham that American engineers were called in to lay a new runway. In January 1944 they constructed a 1,470-yard-long runway with pierced-steel planking in just three days”.
