I have attempted to identify each photographed building as precisely as I can. If my description is vague or inaccurate and you can add improved detail, please email me HERE. Building identification numbers shown in brackets are as indicated on the Air Ministry Site Plan of August 1946.

For general comments or interesting stories about any of the sites relating to King's Cliffe Airfield, including any requests for other sites to be covered, please make use of the King's Cliffe Message Board which you can access HERE.

I have now concluded my initial sweep of the various King's Cliffe sites. I am aware that there are some individual buildings as yet "uncovered" but my intention is to seek permission to access these before proceeding further as they are beyond the reach of the various public rights of way. As I understand more about the various sites I have covered, I may well return in search of whatever I've missed.
