Plaque and memorial for Royal Air Force Steeple Morden. The airfield was operational during the Second World War; initially as a dispersal field for RAF Bomber Command; then used by USAAF Photographic Reconnaisance Group and Fighter Groups.
The airfield was closed and abandoned in 1946, returning to agricultural use in the 1960s.
The former airfield is virtually unrecognizable. A few single-width concrete farm roads, which are remnants of the perimeter track and runways are all that remains.

Impressive memorial but not a lot left of the airfield to see.
