Agricultural Use
Since the end of its military use, Goxhill airfield has remained remarkably intact with a 'Marie Celeste' feel about it. All the buildings on the technical site, with the sad exception of the control tower which was somehow partly demolished despite the owner's objection in 2002, are still standing. The three hangars, two T.2s and a J type also are there, albeit in a state of disrepair. The perimeter track is almost complete and a large part of the main runway is still in place. To the northwest corner of the site is a memorial incorporating a propeller blade from a crashed P-38. Fortunately the remains of the control tower were later acquired by an aviation museum in America where the building is now due to be faithfully reconstructed.
Perhaps of its relative inaccessibility, Goxhill still looks very much like it did during the war years.
