Set away from the main airfield area, hidden in Hawkhill Enclosure, are the remains of Beaulieu Airfields bomb storage pens. Apart from a section of brick wall, concrete loading ramp, earthen blast bank and concrete trackway, the bulk of the bomb store has been destroyed through forestry during the post war years. It's a shame that the Wartime relics of the forest aren't better valued and preserved, after all, the forest played a myriad of important wartime roles.
