Wroughton, Wiltshire US_7PH_GP_LOC209_V_5004

WROUGHTON, Wiltshire. This vertical photograph (taken in 1944 by the US Army Air Force) shows Barbury Castle hillfort, RAF Wroughton (centre), and the village of Wroughton. Wear lines indicate Barbury Castle and the Ridgeway have been used as a thoroughfare by military traffic. There are a number of aircraft in holding areas around the airfield, probably awaiting repairs. Most of the hangars are still extant and now in use by the Science Museum.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This photo print, titled "Wroughton, Wiltshire US_7PH_GP_LOC209_V_5004," offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. Taken in 1944 by the US Army Air Force, this vertical photograph showcases an array of historical landmarks and intriguing details. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to Barbury Castle hillfort, proudly standing amidst the picturesque landscape. Its ancient earthwork fortifications tell tales of Iron Age civilizations that once thrived in this very spot. The wear lines etched on the land reveal how Barbury Castle and the Ridgeway served as vital thoroughfares for military traffic throughout history. In the heart of this enchanting scene lies RAF Wroughton, its presence commanding attention with its strategic positioning. Surrounding it is a fleet of aircraft patiently waiting in holding areas, perhaps anticipating much-needed repairs during World War II. These silent sentinels bear witness to a time when skies were filled with bravery and sacrifice. Notably, many hangars from that era still stand tall today - remnants of a bygone era now repurposed by the Science Museum. They serve as tangible reminders of our rich aviation heritage and offer visitors an opportunity to step back in time. This aerial view captures not only rural tranquility but also echoes of wartime resilience and innovation. It serves as a poignant reminder that history lives on through photographs like these - frozen moments that allow us to reflect upon our collective past while appreciating how far we have come. Historic England Archive has preserved this remarkable image for future generations to cherish and learn from – reminding us all that every picture tells a story worth remembering.
