57OTU Eshott

[Clive Reay-Young]

I am trying to get information on 57OTU and it’s time based at Eshott
My mum was stationed there towards the end of the war having been a plotter at Uxbridge before that.
Did the base ever host active fighter squadrons I thought I read somewhere that
350 Belgian squadron had some links to Eshott
many thanks for any help
