RAF Lympe - 2011

Most of the site is now an industrial estate, although the area that remains appears to be the grounds of the nearby zoo, hence the animal crates.

Lympe was part of the network of RAF sites, including Detlin and Hawkinge, providing launching sites for aircraft during WW2 and the battle of britain. The site was also a commercial airport after the war during the 50's and 60's, known as Ashford International.

Lympne was also a venue that held pre and post war air races, and attacked during the Battle Of Britain on 15 August 1940, by Stuka's who destroyed a number of hangars. Effectively this made the airfield unusable and it became a emergency landing ground until repaired later in the year. hydealfred
