§ Mr. LeeFulbeck airfield was originally requisitioned for use in world war two and the Air Ministry later purchased it in eight conveyances between May 1944 and June 1948. These conveyances were of the type normally used for transactions of this sort, and, as such, confidential to seller and buyer; it would not therefore be appropriate for them to be placed in the Library.
