Important fighter base in WW II. Also airfield from which most SOE flights went out in support of the Resistance. Most flights went from just one field because there were special procedures and considerations to be applied, such as making sure that an agent didn't go off to Belgium in 1942 with a "London" tag in his jacket.
Not much to see on ground, today. Being absorbed into "modern" world....
... but for the dedicated WW II buff, the largely as-it-was control tower holds some ghosts.
