Thanks for posting the picture New Forest.

The hangar behind (one of the four WW2 hangars) was demolished a few years ago – it was considered unsafe.

The brick building must be the old Coventry Aeroplane Club building – that too was demolished a few years ago and you can see the bare square patch of ground where it stood in the bottom centre of Consul’s airiel view. The Tiger Moth (G-AJHO?) is standing where the west entrance access road is now. The CAC built a new hangar/clubhouse/office off Rowley Road on the north side of the Airport – again in Consul’s photo it is the nearest building on the left to the far end of the runway.

Pagen – Battle Headquarters – thats what I meant when I wrote “Airfield control bunker” :o. As I said I don’t believe there are any other WW2 buildings left now. The main runway was only laid down in the 1960s and the (now disused) cross runway only about 15 years ago – then the City Council gave permission for Parcel Force to build a damn great distribution hub at the south end of it and it was closed.
