RAF Kenley's Lost Heritage Trail

Kenley Revival volunteer, Neil Broughton, has prepared a series of fourteen information boards about some of RAF Kenley’s buildings and structures.

These are displayed on the safety fence around the southern half of the airfield and cover buildings from all periods of Kenley’s development  – from the giant Handley Page sheds to pillboxes and even temporary structures like Bessonneau hangars.

The trail will be on display until 18th November.

Many thanks to City Commons, the RAF airfield operator for permission to display the boards on the airfield safety fence and Gary Beckett at Advanced Print Services. We are indebted to everyone who has generously contributed images and information:
