High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Aldermaston was a World War II airfield. It was used by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Eighth and Ninth Air Force as a troop carrier (C-47) group base, and was assigned USAAF station No 467. In 1941 the higher part of the Aldermaston Court estate was chosen by the government as a site for development as a Bomber Operations Training Unit (OTU). The woodland was cleared and a standard 'A Class' bomber airfield with three concrete runways was built. The major construction work was carried out during the spring and summer of 1942 with a main runway, aligned 06-24, being 6,000 ft long. Two secondary runways, both 4,200 ft (1,300 m) were aligned 11-29 and 17-35. 50 "pan" type hardstands and two "loop" hardstands were constructed. The workshops and administration buildings were on the south side, near the main entrance at Falcon Gate. There were five hangars. Four were built to take the largest RAF aircraft.
