History: http://www.hootonparktrust.co.uk/history.html

Only a small portion of the airfield survives. Ouside the boundary of the Hooton Park Trust compound there is a B1 hangar, a unique canon butt and a gym/chancel. he B1 hangar isn't very easy to photograph and on this occasion I didn't make the detour to photograph the gym.

Three 'Belfast Truss" hangars remain but as can be seen they vary in condition from hopeless case (hangar ) to not very well (hangar 3). The northern half of hangar 2 has been re-roofed and work is about to start on the southern half. Hangar 3 will be started after this.
