RAF Davidstow Moor

Had to go to Bude for a dental appointment (closest NHS dentist available). Walked the dogs in the woods straddling the old runways.
The land was acquired in 1941 and a three-runway airfield with extensive dispersal areas was constructed in the first half of 1942.
RAF Davidstow Moor closed in December 1945 at the end of World War II and many of the buildings including the hangars were soon removed. It became a motor racing circuit, known as Davidstow circuit and in the early 1950s three Formula One races were held there (the Cornwall MRC Formula One races) including the first success for the Lotus marque.
The airfield is still partly used by microlights and motor gliders.
