Headcorn airfield started privately in 1927 and in 1942 was taken over by the military and prepared for active service.In 1943 the Canadians were there flying Spitfires briefly. Then the Americans used the site until it closed in 1945 and was returned to private ownership.The 1950's saw it reopen for civilian use which continues today.
This cache is at Headcorn airfield ( nearly) I would have liked it at the field but could not find a place that is quiet enough as the week ends are quite crowded. It is in a nearby lane and will be enjoyed by the junior cache hunters.You will see at the weekends planes ,parachutes,hot air balloons, helicopters,microlites,and quite often a mini air display and best of all -totally FREE!
At the airfield there are toilets,cafe/snack bar, a museum and loads to see and if you are very lucky the field could be strafed by a Spitfire or Mustang.
And Lamas,yes they are in the field opposite the airfield the farmer uses them to protect his lambs and calves from predators
Park at the airfield then walk back out,turn left and take the first lane on the right for about 200yds.
If you can take your bike there are miles of flat quiet country lanes to enjoy.
It was suprising just how few places in this area were thought suitable for a cache.
