The hangar used is still in use as the hangar for 848 Squadron, as the site was absorbed by RNAS Yeovilton some time ago. There’s a picture of the inside of the hangar showing Seafires under repair in the book ‘Yeovilton’ by P. M. Rippon & Graham Mottram published by Fox & Co in 1990 with the ISBN 1 870872 02 9.

Long before I joined the Forum I remember there was a thread about these. I can’t remember if Ilchester was mentioned….

Matt, Hi,
The current ‘C’ class road that runs SE > NW across the W end of Yeovilton’s main runway from ST 53912 23022 to ST 53397 23387 shows some very slight crop/soil marks on GE that it might – at one stage – have been extended to ST 52682 23767. That is, the small area. to the W of the Roman Road not occupied by the housing development to the NNE of Ilchester. That non-housing use of that area seems odd?
Admit that this grasping at straws – but more has been divined from less in the past
