Visited with a fellow explorer. I won't go on with history as it has been covered quite a bit. Nice little mooch though.

Croft is one of the most northerly of the airfields built during the Second World War for use by Bomber Command. Construction work started in 1940 and it was developed into a standard bomber airfield with three concrete runways. Known officially as Croft but frequently called Neasham by local inhabitants, the airfield opened in 1941 as a satellite for Middleton St.George.


























Thanks for looking :thumb
