High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Station Thruxton (Also known as Thruxton Airport) is a former World War II airfield in Hampshire, England. The airfield is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Andover; about 66 miles (106 km) southwest of London. Opened in 1942, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force. During the war it was used primarily as a combat fighter airfield. After the war it was closed in 1946. Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property being used as agricultural fields and also as a glider airfield. In the summer of 1940, Thruxton Down, on the eastern fringes of Salisbury Plain, was considered as an emergency landing ground for the regular RAF station at Andover. It was then scheduled for development as a regular airfield for Army Co-operation Command and No. 225 Squadron RAF moved in with Westland Lysanders in August 1941 while construction was still in progress.
