This photo was taken looking west. The remains of the platform are to the right (north) of the track. I also posted a photo looking east with the remains of the platform to the left.

Salcey Forest station was nearer to what is now the B526, previously the A50. If the photo was looking east instead of west then it could be the bridge under that road to the south of Horton.
No. 72 Maintenance Unit Squadron March 1942 - 1957 Salcey Forest near Roade. This was an Equipment Dispersal Depot initially a storage facility for aircraft engine spares, it quickly expanded to become a major depot for all manner of ground equipment needed by the regions airbases.
Was RAF Roade serviced from here?
Hi John,
The track bed curves too much for the Piddington bridge to be seen from this location (see the maps in my post about the location of the SMJ plate near Salcey Forest).
It is either the footpath footbridge (red ringed in the above maps) or a hedge on top of the cutting.
Regards, Tim
I wonder if the bridge in the distance is Forest Road, Piddington.
This is how I remember it, Tim.
