Whitfield Airfield is an airfield located in Shropshire, England, close to the village of Prees and 2 miles east of the village of Tilstock and 3 miles south of Whitchurch, near the junction of the A41 and A49.
Opened in 1915 as a training base for the British Army, it had a capacity for 30,000 men for training in trench warfare. It additionally acted later as a store for supplies, with its own railway depot fed by a 1 mile branch line from the LNWR's Crewe and Shrewsbury Railway. As casualties mounted, it became a hospital with a fully fledged barracks.
