  • The site of the aerodrome, including its airfield, has recently been
    designated as the Yatesbury Aerodrome Conservation Area.

  • The site contains 4 important listed buildings; 2 aeroplane storage hangars and an aeroplane
    repair hangar, all dating from 191 6, and the officers' mess and office building, part of the
    civilian flying school opened in 1936. The 3 hangars are all listed grade 11* and represent
    an exceptionally rare survival of a group of First World War hangars to support a squadron
    of aircraft on their original site. The repair hangar has partially collapsed and all 3 hangars
    are in the highest category of risk in English Heritage's List of Buildings at Risk (Document
    20). The officers' mess and office building is listed grade I1 and is also a rare example of
    its type. The other buildings on the site are protected as cartilage buildings. While the
    airfield is now in agricultural use, it is still possible to see the original setting of the buildings

  • in relation to the airfield.
