RAF Stoney Cross, decline and fall
This entry will be one of several entries based on photos provided through the RAF Ibsley Airfield Heritage Trust and residents of the village of Fritham. Photos seem to date from December 1946 on wards after closure. They do however give a very good idea of the size and appearance of this very big airfield.

Date: 1946
These are Hardfast huts, prefabricated concrete structures with asbestos roofs, a later war period alternative to Nissen or Quonset huts
The first photo is not Stoney Cross !! It clearly shows a C type hangar on the right hand side – none of which were built there. The airfield only had T2’s and Blister type hangars.
