Lymington Airfield was built by an RAF Airfield construction unit in winter of 1943. Two runways were constructed, E/W 1600 yds,N/S 1400 yds, along with several blister hangars (source: Wikipedia). One of these remains (see below). It was a temporary facility using wire mesh Sommerfeld Tracking. This was later replaced with Marsden Matting (pierced steel plates) for the east-west runway.
