Visited Kenley many years ago to pick up a Cadet glider for Manston museum.
It has a special feel to the place which is hard to put a finger on !

The Airfield is virtually complete (ie runways/taxyways/even some fighter pens) with most buildings extant,as jayce alludes to – none of the original hangars survive,but there is a T2 type hangar for the ATC gliders,they fly weekends…weekdays the surrey hills gliding club use the airfield.
