His novels are notable for a fine attention to accurate detail in descriptions of places, such as in Air Bridge ( 1951 ), set partially at RAF Gatow, RAF Membury after its closure and RAF Wunstorf during the Berlin Airlift.

Membury Service Station ( previously RAF Membury ), Membury transmitting station and the northeastern quarter of Membury iron age fort are in the southwest corner of the parish.

On 25 November 1942 The 107th Observation Squadron, 67th Observation Group, was transferred from RAF Membury to Aldermaston with A-20s, L-4s and Spitfires so that their reconnaissance photographs and visual intelligence would be quickly available to IX Troop Carrier Command.

The original design called for a standard RAF 3 runway Class A airfield layout with the main runway of aligned NW / SE to be a satellite airfield for the nearby RAF Membury due to the high risk of Luftwaffe attack.

RAF Station Membury is a former World War II airfield built in the civil parish of Lambourn in Berkshire, England.

Membury airfield was scheduled for construction for RAF operational training use.

While at Membury, the group was re-assigned to the Twelfth Air Force and moved to RAF Steeple Morden in Cambridgeshire during October prior to its movement to North Africa.

Membury was crowded on 7 June as in addition to the 70 C-47s and C-53s of the 436th, 56 additional C-47s of the 442nd TCG flew in from RAF Fulbeck to use Membury as a forward base for loading supplies to drop to the 101st Airborne Division.

With the 436th leaving Membury for Melun in France and the Americans departing by the end of June the station was back under RAF control.

Membury along with RAF Gatow and RAF Wunstorf, was the setting for much of the Hammond Innes novel Air Bridge.

The former technical site of RAF Membury can be reached by exiting the M4 Motorway at Exit 14, Baydon Road ( A338 ) and proceeding north from the interchange approximately 1 / 4 mile to the B4000 interchange and turning left ( Northwest ).
