question RAOC at FOSTON, EGGINTON in Derbyshire ROYAL ARMY ORDANANCE CORP

[Fugly]

Hi all

 

I am researching the RAOC when they were based on Foston Camp ( site of the former ww2 RAF Church Broughton Airfield) in Derbyshire.

 

They took over the site in the late 40's and remained there until the 1960's. Looking at an aerial photo of the airfield taken in 1948 they had thousands of vehicles stored there.

 

Can anyone give me any more information, photographs or similar?

 

Many Thanks
