Not all airfields were concrete based..especially in 1940, date of creation and main use of this one (according to RAF analysis up to 35 Bf 109 have been based here...). This photo shows 21 individual hangars plus at least four netted open air revetments.

The take off area begins between the two copses/farms and goes toward NE where one can see the telltale set of trenches forbidding any further use of the airfield.

Those trenches were a very sure way of identifying the landing/T/O areas of german grass airfields once they were abandoned or at least put on reserve.
