I've put rough coordinates in the {{coord}} tag but they need refining by someone who knows the place better - AIUI the current museum isn't quite where the airfield was, it was more over towards Ivychurch. 82.20.52.30 (talk) 14:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've added the more precise location taken from
Delve, Ken. The Military Airfields of Britain. Southern England. Kent, Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex. Crowood Press. 2005 ISBN1-86126-729-0
I used to live in Ivychurch and you're right, the airfield was in the fields some way off between the WLA Hostel (now the BAM) and Ivychurch itself. IIRC, there is a small bridge over a ditch on the road from Brenzett to Ivychurch that marks the approximate location. Brenzett was an ALG along with New Romney (Honeychild) - Typhoons, and Newchurch - Tempests, all within a few miles of each other. The bridge I mentioned used to have IIRC, Roma painted on it in white paint, as at one time Italian POWs were working in the fields near there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.249.243 (talk) 18:52, 7 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
