I've no idea if this is correct as I don't know the area and one source says that "After the war (WW2) the airfield was built over with what became the main Austin/ Austin Rover/ Rover Cars factory until closure a few years back." https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-avia...ne-factory
On the MG forum are some interesting discussions about the site, including the fact that to get the heavier WW2 bombers up onto the flying field, a left had to be installed as the land level was so different to the assembly sheds. https://www.mg-rover.org/threads/longbri...ff.263375/
Perhaps these images are correct? Click for clearer pictures - they are just cuts from Google Maps. Could the second picture be the entrance? The third view is a 3D of the second picture
