Bomb loading Ramp

 

The New forest was home to a number of World War Two airfields, 80 years on and very little physical evidence of them remains, the Bomb Store at Hawkhill is one of the more interesting. Easy to miss amongst the undergrowth, one of the bomb stores' two loading/unloading ramps which would have been used to transfer bombs from delivery lorries onto land trains ready for storage or deployment around Beaulieu airfield.
