HOW TO FIND AERIAL PHOTOS OF THE NEW FOREST AIRFIELDS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The web site run by Mapguide allows the user to designate a central reference for a map and elect it. Once selected there is an option to look at an aerial photo of the location and then zoom and scroll the photo. You will find a link to Multimap further down this page.
The interface to Multilink looks something like this
By typing an OS reference into the empty box to the left of the Find button and clicking on Find, it will produce you a map of the location specified and a revised quicksearch interface that looks like this.
Click on the little camera icon above the map and you will get an aerial photo of the location specified. The table below gives appropriate OS references for each of the New Forest Airfields for you to use to see the airfields as they are today.
