Other runway can be seen better by 'dragging' the image down a bit.

This is a composite image based on two images - one showing the runways and one showing some of the dispersal sites.

No.1 site is shown with a larger font than the others.

The largish distances from the airfield make sense - i.e. the runways and hangars would have been 'easy' targets and bomb blasts there could have impacted on accommodation sites.

This is a very approximate 'aerial' view as of 'today'. It has been created using FLASHEARTH and then 'squashing' the image. Thus, it does not have the same proportions as the 1952 image. The 'circled' large house now occupies the site where the Sergeants mess once was.

The dispersal site No. 1 as it appears in a map dated about 1975

I think (repeat think) the attached Grid Ref is close enough.

This shows the layout of the runways at RAF Hunsdon and it has been rotated to match the Image.

This is dispersal site No. 1 for RAF Hunsdon, Herts. This site lies off St Margaret’s road and contains the dental unit (22), the Sergeants Mess (27), two water tanks (8 & 9), the cinema (29), dining hall and cookhouse (21), plus ten blast shelters. The sewerage works are still in place and working for the village of Hunsdon to this day. They are the only buildings left on the site. A large house now occupies the site where the Sergeants mess once was.
