I can not believe its been a year from the last update on this thread, sorry!
Research on the history of the aerodrome is still ticking on however I have also been pulled into researching the whole Special Operations Executive (SOE) operation in WWII which has a little slowed up the aerodrome side.
I will do a follow up on the aerodrome soon.
I should also let everyone know that I instigated establishing a Barton & District History Group... the first meeting is to be held in the village hall on the 31st May.
Barton & District History Group
Thursday 31st May 2012
7.30pm
Barton Le Clay Village Hall (MK45 4JY).
Everyone is welcome and I hope we can establish several long term project which will include the villages aerodrome.

I will update this thread soon, I have loads more dates to add and I am happy to say I have found the original hand drawn map of the proposed airfield expansion in 1939
There is a 'Barton-Le-Clay History Society' page on FB - I do not know if 'Jenna' has put anything on there - there are a few aircraft pics just from a quick look.
I was in touch with her years ago, but failed to contact her in more recent times. I added some of her research to my own and published it in my book on Captain Marendaz 'The All British Marendaz Special'. Available on Ebay for around £13 these days.

It's probably not helped by the fact that there is a Barton & District History Group (q.v. Jenna's post of 3 May 2012), with an online presence, whose sphere of interest is Barton-on-Humber, in North Lincolnshire, rather than Barton-le-Clay in Bedfordshire!

I wonder what happened to all the work Jenna did on this airfield. None of the image or PDF links work, nor does www.bartonleclay.org sadly.
