Thanks for the help but I usually steer well clear of wikipedia, for example there is no Hawkinge on that list and it was one of the MAJOR satellite fields.

My apologies, this was something I came across whilst looking for something else. I have since had another look avoiding that particular site. What I have found is this:
A Tangmere satellite Westhampnett (and later Ford)
B Kenley satellite Croydon and occasionally West Malling
C Biggin Hill satellites Detling, Gravesend, Hawkinge, Lympne, West Malling
D Hornchurch satellites Rochford, occasionally Detling and Manston (Biggin Hill also used Manston I believe)
E North Weald satellites Stapleford Tawney, occasionally Martlesham Heath
F Debden satellites Castle Camps, Martlesham Heath
Z Northolt no real satellite but occasionally Heathrow and Hendon from September 1940
information on the net is quite hard to find in this regard, however you might be interested in the following sites:

and the map at the bottom of this one:

I hope this is of somewhat more use to you than my last effort.
