Details

There were three phases to Yatesbury, plus a huge radio school. I will try to cover them all. It may take some time.
RFC/RAF Yatesbury, this covers from 1916 to 1920.
Bristol Aeroplane Co. aerodrome Yatesbury, covers 1936 to 1939.
RAF Yatesbury, from 1939 to 1965.
There is very little there anymore from WW1, so I have managed to find many photos of the period. Bristol's period I have many photos of what is there and how it looked in its Art Deco style and WW2, pictures of the airfield, but very little if any of the Wireless School to the east.
I have added Dan Miles website all about the German POW camp, that was also there.
