North Weald Airfield Users Group is a voluntary organisation established to raise awareness of the airfield and to campaign for its long term future

This new page has been set up in conjunction with www.facebook.com/savenorthwealdairfield to make it easier for non-facebook subscribers to follow developments in the campaign to "Keep North Weald Flying". Content will generally mirror that of the original FB site. Please follow, like and share with your friends. For historical information on the campaign and recent developments, please also visit our website at www.northwealdairfield.org and our twitter account www.twitter.com/flynorthweald. The Aerodrome was established in the summer of 1916 as a Royal Flying Corp aerodrome North Weald was a frontline Sector Station for 11 Group during the Battle of Britain before hosting jets from the late Forties until the mid Sixties. It remained MOD property until being sold to Epping Forest District Council in the early Eighties. In recent years the airfield has been targeted from many angles as a suitable location for large scale residential development, which, if realised, could ultimately lead to the closure and loss of this important and popular aviation and leisure facility and historic site for future generations

The planning application for 600 houses on the site of the old North Weald Golf Course, immediately adjacent to the north eastern boundary of North Weald Airfield is due to be decided by the planning inspector in January 2027, after permission was refused by Epping Forest District Council and the developer lodged an appeal. This is separate from a new proposal for approx. 250 homes immediately to the south of the Airfield's main runway (see pinned and earlier posts).

MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENT THREATS TO North Weald Airfield !!!

In addition to the newly proposed scheme to create large housing development immediately to the south of North Weald Airfield's main runway (02/20), on the current pitch & putt golf course and adjacent fields (see recent posts), an earlier proposal to create an even larger development of 650 homes on adjacent land immediately to the east of the airfield (the separate site of the former North Weald Golf Club), which was rejected by Epping Forest District Council, has now gone to appeal.

There is not much time left to lodge objections to the application to build 650 homes on what was discovered to be contaminated land. Visit the appeals page via the link below to make your views known. https://appeal-planning-decision.service.gov.uk/comment-planning-appeal/enter-appeal-reference

North Weald, 1942.

Inside the dispersal hut of No. 331 Squadron RAF, where sorties were briefed, gear was checked, and the waiting happened.

This photograph is believed to show several well-known Norwegian pilots gathered on the left side of the room, figures associated with 331 Squadron in this period — including men such as Tarald Weisteen, Stein Sem, and Rolf Arne Berg. If that identification is correct, the image must date from before Sem was killed in action.

Moments like this rarely look dramatic. Yet for several of the men in this room, the future was already painfully short.
