Wings North airfield/ALG?

Hi guys

I have a note that states that the 373rd Fighter Group (P-47s) operated from Wings North in July 1944. Where exactly is/was this airfield/ALG?

Cheers
Brian

Kingsnorth? I think, from memory, the 373rd were at Woodchurch, Kent, in July 1944 and so it is likely they also used, at some time or other, nearby Kingsnorth.

I did mail some things to you. Did you not get them?? Also mailed some images and other bits direct to John Davies at Grub Street just last week.
