Dist:0.5km<br/>This is Stansted Airport with aircraft queuing for takeoff. Although Stansted is the busiest of all the old WW2 airfields in Essex virtually all traces of its former use are totally obliterated. Stansted began operations in July 1943 operating B26s until these moved to Europe some time after D-Day. The Americans extended the runway in the 1950’s and for a time it was the longest in the country. This is one of the major factors that lead to Stansted becoming “London’s 3rd Airport" rather than Fairlop or Chipping Ongar which were also considered. To go to the next field in an alphabetical tour of Essex WW2 airfields click on [[255680]]. Much information was gleaned from Graham Smith’s book “Essex Airfields In The Second World War”. http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-category.php?category=44
