Jack Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Not the best picture in the world but took this on Sunday - it is just west of Fawley power station. Does anyone know which WW2 airfield it is? http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/richmorris/IMAG0103.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Nice mate, I think you could be right there as it was around this area :-D The dispersal areas ( learnt that from Steves article :-) 8-)) look like they are being used as car parks :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie The Jeep Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 After the war, many airfields had their hangars, runways and dispersals used for the storage of vehicles or ammunition. Those with ammunition had their runways marked to warn aircraft not to try to land. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
