On this page are photographs which illustrate graphically the scale of the project that the Hooton Park Trust has taken on. There are photographs of the original Grade II * (Grade two star) wartime hangars, the military transport sheds, offices and other huts still extant on this uniquely historical former airfield site. Once restored, this former RAF airfield will be a unique asset to the north west of England, and to the country as a whole.
