North Weald Airfield Food Distribution Centre

North Weald Airfield was also the delivery, cross loading and refuelling point for the Hylands Park food distribution vehicles. A mini village of marquees, cabins and containers were built to support the operation run by Sodexho and staffed by IST volunteers. There were on average 32 lorry loads of food delivered every night with meals cooked in 11,200 pots. 20,000kg of potatoes were baked, boiled or fried and 84,000 loaves of bread were delivered over the 12 days.
