The RAF station at Tempsford, Bedfordshire, is just a few miles from my home at Potton. Little remains at the site except for a museum, which is well worth a visit. Go to the site Tempsford Museum for opening times and details. Also visit the RAF Tempsford site for loads of information and stories.
The airfield occupied fields between what is now the A1, the Great North Road, and the ridge at Tetworth Hill. It's coordinates are 52°09'31N and 000°15'49W if you want to find it on the maps, although little can be discerned of the airfield itself.
The airfield was the source of many Special Duties Operations, primarily by 138 and 161 squadrons. Famously, the Special Operations Executive agent Violette Szabo was transferred to occupied Europe from Tempsford for the first of her two missions, before being transferred from RAF Harrington for her final and tragic mission.
During the war, many squadrons operated out of the station:
No. 109 Squadron RAF (1942) - Vickers Wellington I
No. 138 Squadron RAF (1942-1944) - Handley Page Halifax II and V
No. 149 Squadron RAF (1943-1944) - Short Stirling III and IV
No. 161 Squadron RAF (1942-1945) - Whitley V, Westland Lysander III, Hudson I, Havoc I and III
No. 426 Squadron RCAF (1945) - Consolidated Liberator VIII
No. 617 Squadron RAF detachment (1945) - Avro Lancaster I & III
There is a superb web-site dedicated to Tempsford which details its history. Click the link to go to it: www.harringtonmuseum.org.uk/tempsford-airfield/.
There were a number of accidents involving the Aircraft operating out of Tempsford that I have included as separate pages in this web site. A great many were also sadly lost whilst on operations. Rather than make each of these losses a separate web page, I have listed each on this page with the reference page number in the Aircraft lost on Allied Force's Special Duty Operations & Associated Roll of Honour. If I have transcribed the crew list, I will display the names of the crew instead of the document page number. The previous link will take you to a PDF of the records, you must then scroll down to the relevant page number. In many cases there is a significant amount of interesting data, usually at least the squadron, Aircraft type and designation, crew list, and details of the operation and the loss where known, which it often is. Unfortunately, the link to the site in the table below, even those in column headed "page #", only take you to page 1 of the PDF, you have to scroll down to the page you want. Alternatively, you could save the PDF to your hard drive, then open it in Adobe Acrobat and use the built-in PDF page finder.
The National Archives at Kew have accident reports for two aircraft that crashed on operations from RAF Tempsford - Wellington R1450 and Harvard KF231. I have included these aircraft even though they do not appear in the Tempsford Squadron Operations Record Book. It will be interesting to see why these particular reports should be stored in the Archives.
The pain has stopped, for I am dead, my time on Earth is done, But in a hundred years from now, I'll still be twenty-one. | |
My brief sweet life is over, my eyes no longer see, No summer walks - no Christmas Trees - no pretty girls for me. | |
I've got the chop, I've had it, my nightly ops are done, Yet, in another hundred years, I'll still be twenty-one. | |
