OVERVIEW

Greenham Common airfield was built to the Class A airfield standard, the main feature of which was a set of three converging runaways, each being a concrete runway for takeoffs and landings, optimally placed at 60-degree angles to each other in a triangular pattern connecting to an enclosing perimeter track, of standard width of 50 feetwith

In late 1943, Greenham Common airfield was turned over to the U.S.A.A.F. Ninth Air Force and remained under the control of the U.S.A.A.F. until 1992, when it was handed back to the R.A.F. and in 1993, handed back to the crown for its sale.

In 1993, Kingston worked with a development team to assess the feasibility of converting the existing facility into a commercial mixed-use scheme.
