The area to the south of the authors home,  was home to a temporary camp for soldiers flying out in preparation of the D Day landings.

​

There is nothing left of the camp, other than the rubbish that was left behind.

​

Occasionally this 'rubbish' finds its way to the surface during gardening and other field walking activities.

​

Not all relics come to light by being unearthed however, and some interesting items relating to the air station have been collected over time. 

​

These items are available to view during open days as well as other items loaned by Cricklade Museum.
