There was a military airbase here -RAF Andrews Field a former Royal Air Force station located 4 miles (6.4 km) east-northeast of Great Dunmow Essex, England. Originally designated as Great Saling, the base was renamed "Andrews Field" in honor of United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) General Frank M. Andrews, who was killed in an airplane crash in Iceland in May 1943. Andrews Field was primarily the home of the USAAF Ninth Air Force 322d Bombardment Group during the Second World War, which flew the Martin B-26 Marauder medium bomber. After being transferred to the Air Ministry in late 1944, it was used briefly by RAF Fighter Command for Gloster Meteor jet fighter testing before being finally closed in late 1945. Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property, being used as agricultural fields, with a small portion used by the Andrewsfield Flying Club.

The livery was actually worn on RN201 at this year's Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow. I saw it and requested a repaint . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
