Robert Seymour, Secretary of Friends of Tarrant Rushton Airfield Memorial, will give a short history of the Tarrant Rushton Aerodrome. How many people know that in the shadow of Badbury Rings lie the remains of a wartime airfield that provided a starting point for one of the greatest feats of flying in the Second World War? And yes, a wooden glider really did carry a seven-ton tank into battle!
