Fantastic, always make for a great spot - can't beat seeing the ghostly outline of an airfield :-)

Brilliant video. Raf beaulieu is my all time favourite place. ❤

[@TrexplorerUK]

Cheers Dom, I am going to make a longer one of just RAF Beaulieu when I get a chance - hopefully in next month or so.

[@davidhaddow2929]

This is great, thanks! It's inspired me to plan a bike ride taking in all of these sites for the next time I'm in the New Forest.

[@TrexplorerUK]

Cheers David, Lymington > Needs Oar Point > Beaulieu is a good route. I created a Google map here if you need precise locations nfhwa.org/ww2-new-forest-airfields-map/

[@davidhaddow2929]

@@TrexplorerUK, thank you - you've created a brilliant resource! I grew up in Mudeford, not far from De Davilland Way so very close to the Somerford airfield site.
