RAE Bedford
Originally opened as RAF Thurleigh, this airfield became the testing ground of the Royal Aircraft Establishment and was still in use when this photo was taken. The main runway was extended to its present length to accommodate the Bristol Brabazon airliner, which needed a lot of runway to get airborne. The RAE consolidated its resources at Boscombe down and the airfield closed in 1994. Once proposed as another airport for London, it is now a business park and new vehicle store.
