The story
Alt Name: --. Opened: 1942. Status in 1944: RAF. 116 Wing. Transport. Current use: Parkland. Remarks: The runway layout is still visible although the main runway is now a road that takes you from A31 into the New Forest. The width has been reduced to standard road dimensions by the use of piles of earth that has now been covered in grass. You can still the original runway width, however. The disposal points are still in place and the foundations of the various buildings are visible. There is also a large pond close to the road (runway) and I assume it is a bomb crater as it is circular and very large. Stoney Cross is now used as a caravan park for tourists! The RAF Water Tower is still in use and is painted in camo green.
