High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Station Charmy Down is a former World War II airfield in Somerset, England. The airfield is located approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north-northeast of Bath; about 96 miles (154 km) west of London. Opened in 1941, it was used by both the Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Force. During the war it was used primarily as night fighter interceptor airfield. After the war it was closed in 1945. Today the remains of the airfield are located on private property being used as agricultural fields. Built on a Kerbed Long barrow site, where a cremation urn was found, near a burial of a long necked beaker, and a bronze dagger, these are believed to be from the Beaker people. The Kerbed Long Barrows were then flattened to make way for the base.
