Buckminster Aerodrome / RAF Buckminster / RFC Buckminster | Live Education Stream by Buzztube TV

Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b fighters of No 38 Squadron had Buckminster available to them as a Home Defence Flight Station during World War One until the unit moved to France in May 1918. A nucleus left behind enabled No 90 Squadron to form the following August at Buckminster, and its Avro 504K fighters remained in service after the end of fighting. One building here survived until very recently when it collapsed as the result of a storm.
