• Huge amounts of land were requisitioned by the Air Ministry to build airfields and what would become home for thousands of servicemen from all over the world. Today many of these airfields have been forgotten and returned to their original use as farmland, a couple are still in active use and a few have been partially saved by being used for another purpose such as an industrial site. This site is not designed to be an historic account of the airfields and the personnel who were based there but a record of what remains of these airfields today. ... Please Note Many of the old airfields are now within private land and we must emphasise here that permission must be sought from the owners of the land before venturing on.
