Gosfield Airfield This is the crossing point of the Perimeter track and the end of a runway on the former Gosfield Airfield. Gosfield operated from 1943 initially as a fighter station using P47s, later the base was returned to its intended use as a bomber field operating A20s. Late on in the war C47 Dakotas operated Horsa gliders from the base. Today there is a community woodland, industrial units and the Consumers Association <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/221160">TL7731 : Speed Test Centre</a> on the base.
