RAF
Cranage
Hello,
I wonder if your site visitors would like help save the remains
of RAF Cranage?
I live in Cheshire, close to RAF Cranage. Squadron 96 flew from
there, as the sole aerial defence of Liverpool during the Blitz
(1941) before moving to Wrexham. I am trying to have the remaining
site scheduled as an 'ancient monument'.
English Heritage is proving resistant to this. Will you help to
save it? Much more information can be read on the web page which
I have set up at
We
should value our heritage - as contributors to your site obviously
do. Young men from right across the world flew from RAF Cranage
- Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Czechoslovakia, France,
South Africa. Today it looks insignificant enough, but during the
war, it was very important. Its memory still should be important.
If any of your contributors can help me with more information, about
RAF Cranage or about the Vickers Armstrong 'shadow factory' close
by in Byley, which assembled Wellington Bombers - shadowing the
factory at Broughton/RAF Hawarden, I would love to hear from them.
