CALLSIGN WILL BE OPERATING 4th & 5th APRIL 2026 Harlow & District Amateur Radio Society will be active across all HF bands and 2m Willingale Airfield was built in 1942 on open farmland and was one of 15 airfields in Essex allocated to the USAAF. It was built by the US Army 831st Engineer (Aviation) Battalion and on 25 June 1943 the 387th Bombardment group arrived from Kentucky assigned to the 3rd Bomb Wing flying Martin B –26B/C Marauders. They began combat on 15 August 1943 attacking coastal defences on the French coast. During eight months of operations from Willingale Airfield the 387 flew 204 missions and lost 10 aircraft. While stationed in Willingale the airmen used St Andrews Church as their Parish church, organised dances in the Village Hall and were generous to the children of the village who were living under tight rationing. In July 1944 the 387th Group moved to RAF Stoney Cross in Hampshire leaving only a small USAAF station complements unit.
