Flimston
Flimston Chapel stands in isolated splendour at the heart of the military range. Dating from the fifth century, it was restored in 1903 by the Lambton family of Brownslade as a memorial to their sons who were killed in the Boer War.
In 1970 it was further restored by officers, soldiers and civilian staff from the range. A small military/ civilian airfield was established south of the chapel in 1937/1938, used by the RAF and Western Airlines - a civilian contractor.
The airfield comprised an airstrip, three canvas Bessonneaux hangars and various temporary buildings, none of which are now visible.
