Satellite to RAF Newton 25 August 1943 - 15 April 1946.
I just came upon this airfield by accident as I was passing. The mushroom farm could have been the main buildings and was the site of several Blister hangar bases. The red squares are hard standings for Blister hangars. The r/h yellow square is Orston Petrol Reserve Depot which covered fields both sides of the road and a railway line.

RAF Orston RLG

Details

RAF Orston RLG was a Polish run RLG for No. 16 (Polish) Flying Training School throughout the war. RAF Newton was the parent airfield and RAF Orston was used as its relief landing ground. Planes could be flown out in the morning for tuition and flown back at night. There may have been as many as 130 people stationed here in one job or another, to manage the site and refuel and quick repairs to air craft as and when they needed it. There may have been a few wooden huts but as far as sleeping, they would all probably drive to and fro from RAF Newton.

A save our village campaign has been launched to stop two rural communities being consumed by a near development. Villagers say they only uncovered the prospect of a garden village between them by chance as no-one from the borough notified them of its inclusion as a possible site for housing
