A revisit in March 2020 to this site. The site has now been cleared of trees and vegetation, returning it close to the state it would have been when operational. Due to the large amounts of asbestos, the buildings are being slowly dismantled, with the corrugated asbestos sheet being carefully removed from the roofs. The purpose of this visit was to capture the scale of the site, and record construction methods and materials as best as I could.
Locally known as the USAAF hospital, Ullenwood near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire was the site of the 110th General Hospital of the US Army Medical Corps in late 1944. Little other information is available.
A description of the camp exists - "The hospital buildings were of a uniform plan and setup and constructed of hollow tile, roofed with asbestos cement sheets. Adequate space was available for all wards, clinics, and laboratories. The quarters reserved for Officers, Nurses, and the Detachment were all of plaster board covered with tar paper and had asbestos cement roofs."
What remains today is a jumble of contemporary WW2 buildings, largely prefabricated concrete struts with asbestos roofs and clockwork walls that have been used for decades as household storage and small business units. The most interesting and medical related structure to remain is the covered corridor in the centre of the site that would have linked hospital wards.

RAF Sculthorpe Airfield was built as the second Satellite Airfield for RAF West Raynham a few miles to the south, the first being RAF Great Massingham. Work was begun in the spring of 1942 and the Airfield was laid out as a standard RAF Heavy Bomber Airfield with concrete Runways, Dispersal Sites, Mess Facilities and Accommodation. Much of the construction work was completed by Irish labour working for the construction company Bovis. As work was drawing to a close in May 1943 the first Squadrons started to arrive, the first being 342 (Lorraine) Squadron of the Free French Air Force within 2 Group from RAF West Raynham. This Squadron operated two flights of the Douglas Boston Aircraft along with some Douglas Havoc Aircraft for training, 342 Squadron stayed until 19th July 1943 when they moved to RAF Great Massingham.
On 20th July 1943 the Royal New Zealand Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force moved in with No.487 Squadron RNZAF and No.464 Squadron RAAF taking up residence with their Lockheed Ventura Aircraft having moved from RAF Methwold before converting at RAF Sculthorpe onto the De Havilland Mosquito. On 20th September 1943 21 Squadron moved in from RAF Oulton, also with Mosquitos to form the Sculthorpe Wing (140 Wing) The Wing stayed at RAF Sculthorpe completing more than 100 missions before departing for RAF Hunsdon on 31st December 1943.
In January 1944 100 Group Royal Air Force No.214 Squadron RAF moved in with Boeing Fortress Aircraft for use in Electronic Warfare support of Bomber Command to be joined by crews from the USAAF 96th Bomb Group from RAF Snetterton Heath, known at RAF Sculthorpe and thereafter as the 803rd Bomb Squadron of the USAAF. In April 1944 the 803rd and 214 Squadron departed for RAF Oulton leaving RAF Sculthorpe empty for its redevelopment as a Very Heavy Bomber Base with the work not being completed until the spring of 1946. RAF Sculthorpe was refurbished for USAF use during the Berlin Crisis in 1949 and then later, in 1952, it became home for the 49th Air Division (Operational) and the 47th Bombardment Wing, who were to stay for a decade. The 49th Air Division maintained Operational Control of the 47th Bomb WG and the 20th Fighter-Bomber Wing which provided Tactical Nuclear Weapons Support to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) Later the 81st Fighter-Bomber Wing was provided a Nuclear Capability and assigned to the Operational Control of the 49th Air Division.
The Soviet Union's enormous Conventional Force in eastern Europe posed a major problem for NATO due to the Soviets maintaining high personnel levels after World War Two when most of the American and British forces had demobilized. To counter this Soviet threat to western Europe, NATO decided to expand their Tactical Nuclear Force by introducing the North American B-45 Tornado to the UK. The US Tactical Air Command had about 100 of these four-engined Jet Bombers, each capable of dropping five Tactical Nuclear Bombs. In the summer of 1952, the Pentagon decided to deploy the 47th Bomb Wing to RAF Sculthorpe from Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. The movement of the 49th AD, 47 Bomb Wg and the 20th FB WG was the first unit deployment since World War Two.
The Squadrons of the 47th Bomb WG were :-
84th Bombardment Squadron (B-45, B-66) (17th November 1952 to 22nd June 1962)
85th Bombardment Squadron (B-45, B-66) (17th November 1952 to 22nd June 1962)
420th Air Refueling Squadron (KB-29, KB-50) (25th September 1955 to 23rd March 1962)
86th Bombardment Squadron (B-45, B-66) (23rd March 1954 to 22nd June 1962)
19th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron (RB-45C) (7th May 1954 to 1st December 1958)
Due to a shortage of space at RAF Sculthorpe, the 86th BS Operated from RAF Alconbury as a detachment of the 47th in addition to the B-45 Squadrons at RAF Sculthorpe, the 47th's sister wing, the 20th Fighter-Bomber Wing with the Nuclear Napable North American F-84G 'Thunderjet' were transferred to RAF Wethersfield in Essex. From 1954 to 1958, the 19th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron also flew the Reconnaissance version of the B-45 known as the RB-45. The 19th TRS was assigned to the 47th Bomb Wing from May 1954 to December 1958. When the 19th began to re-equip with RB-66's during 1957, its RB-45's were transferred to other squadrons of the 47th Bomb Wing. By 1957, carrying 10,000 personnel it was the biggest USAFE Base in Europe. In May 1958, the re-equipment of the 47th Bombardment Wing began and Douglas B-66 Destroyers began to replace the B-45's. With this equipment change, the 47th's Squadrons was redesignated Bombardment Squadron (Tactical).

North of the rock cutting between Acreknowe and Flex farms, this accommodation bridge comes into view. The accommodation bridges which the North British Railway was required to provide for farmers whose fields had been severed by the course of the railway are of more substantial quality around here compared with those found in the upland sections a few miles further south.
