Well there's definitely an active airfield there:

Stretton Airfield

But my guess is thats its just the short grass strip, not the hard runways.

I see that it was a Fleet Air Arm station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNAS_S...MS_Blackcap%29

Its not unusual in the UK to find abandoned or disused WWII airfields (of which there were over a thousand) with a bit still in use or with a grass strip somewhere inside the original airfield.
