Help needed to find Abandoned Airfields in Northern Ireland.

Hi everyone

I'm 22years old and just finished a three year BA Hons Course in Photography at the University of Ulster, Belfast. As a Final Year project last term, I made a body of work based on 'Abandoned Autobahns' in Germany. I want to continue the World War Two theme and look for more abandoned locations, hopefully with your help. At the top of my list, I want to photograph the remains of Abandoned Airfields in Northern Ireland. The reason for the project is mainly due to it being something different as many people don't realise they exist.

If it is possible, I could do with some help in finding the areas in Northern Ireland where the airfields would have stood? The project is more about showing where the airfields would have been so it doesn't matter if there is nothing standing now. I'm just trying to show an airfield use to be here in my photographs if that makes sense. The main problem I see myself having is finding the exact location.

Hi Ian,

Checkout my website below. Click on "The Database" and go to Column "M" this will tell you which military group operated the airfield/aerodrome/landing ground etc and column "L" will give you dates. If you need any further info please ask me.

Thank you Hugo, I'll take a look now.
