Up in Buckinghamshire, near the border with Herts travelling from Chesham to Berkhamstead, about 1/2 mile before you get to the village of Ashley Green to the west of the main road there's a small field containing a 'blister' type hangar. I say type because all the years I've seen it (since mid '50s) it's been re-roofed and refurbished so that although it's still the correct shape, I doubt if there's much original material left!
My parents always said it was an airfield that they started to build but never finished (it's about 2 or 3 miles west of Bovingdon) but the field looks too small to be a real airfield. Maybe it was a temporary strip used in the run-up to D-Day?
Returning to the south coast, as well as Hawkinge, Hastings (Pebsham) and Bexhill (Siddeley Green) have also been obliterated by housing.
