- Airfield - Bellman Hangar # 1 (site of) At one time on this site on the south side of the airfield there were two Bellman hangars, now just one of them remains, seen in the background alongside a Romney hut. Still standing is the brick-built blast wall that once protected the demolished hangar's north east side. As for the Romney hut, it is doubtful if it was ever part of RAF Warmwell, as it is not on the original 1946 site plan, and may have been placed here by the farmer post war. Image
