Throughout this website I have used quotes from many people who were kind enough to share their thoughts, memories and experiences that relate to Birch Airfield.

If you have something of interest that you would like to share, please contact me via the 'Contact' link and I will add it to this page.

"I delivered milk to offices on the airfield with the local dairyman Jim Balls of Stanway Hall Dairy. On Saturdays and school holidays we were frequently given sweets etc by the troops. I went to a few childrens parties there and again come home with sweets, a treat indeed in those war years. I lived opposite the Angel at Heckford Bridge at the time. I remember laying in bed unable to get to sleep due to the singing and sometimes fighting of the American Service men, thats while the beer supply lasted. This pub did not have a locals only policy, the Yanks would pay more for the beer"
