Site of the old Weston Airport

Here is the site of where Weston Airport first started (some of the wooden buildings were cleared about five years ago) though the ever present M.O.D brick and render building can be seen. These would have been erected early in its RAF period though I suspect the maintenance hangar to the right is probably older. See this link for views of some of the buildings that went and some that still cling on http://www.controltowers.co.uk/W-Z/Weston_Super_Mare.htm
