Guided Airfield & Marks Hall "Then and Now" Walk: Relive the wartime years as you walk the remains of the original runway & buildings and visit memorials. This escorted walk is led by Malcolm Hobbs, whose family has owned the airfield and business park since the 1960s, offering his unique insights.
