Beaumont

Military site

A satellite station of Advanced Air Depot Boxted. Of a list of 75 airfield sites for consideration by the 8th Air Force in July 1942 Beaumont had not been specified and by December, in a review with the RAF, as the land had only been requisitioned and surveyed it was decided not to go ahead. Confusingly, the station number remained. Exact location unknown.
