There's something here, but we're not going to tell you what it is... We're just going to do something very strange with the road symbol! Presuming the airfield was built around the time of the Battle of Britain, the OS had 8 years, and one revision of the 1' series, to be a little more convincing about this!

The 7th series map (1967) shows the airfield in full for the first time. However, despite the passage of nearly 30 years since its construction, the roads haven't yet been renumbered: the A423 stops either side of Benson... (My 1974 Book of the Road has the A423 following the B479 and A4130.) Originally uploaded to Coppermine on May 20, 2006 by FosseWay
