This report looks at the intricate subject of Second World War temporary airfields; it briefly examines the planning, design and construction of airfield landscapes, the numbers and types built, and the reasons for their post-war demise. Temporary airfields in England have been fading from the landscape at an alarming rate, so much so, that only a fragment of the infrastructure and pavements survive today and much of this has disappeared without proper recording. The report was commissioned by English Heritage as part of the National Heritage Protection Plan (project 6370). There are two aims: • To list and assess the current condition of Second World War temporary airfields • To identify the best surviving temporary airfield landscapes and building complexes.
