If its the 14 acres to the S, not great - the field to the N looks more like 100 or so.

Might get a bit boggy - there'll be a reason why its not under crop.

I was trying to reconcile the photos with the suggested location on the map. The vista to the S is less than good if the suggested location is correct.

Any idea what the airfield was formerly named in its RAF days?

This one, presumably

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Condover

Edited to add from the above link...

Although the runways have now been broken up and removed, many original station buildings still stand and the control tower is considered to be one of the best-preserved in Shropshire. After many years as a major part of a local riding school several of the buildings and land plots were offered for sale by auction during the summer of 2007.
