Abstract:
Exeter Airport opened as a civil airfield in 1937 and between 1939 and 1946 was taken over by the Air Ministry and became RAF Exeter. During the late summer of 1940 considerable construction works took place as the airfield was expanded to meet RAF requirements. A sleeping shelter, provided for night fighter pilots associated with flight BK, was recorded prior to its demolition. The design of the shelter incorporates external rings providing structural strength. They are not found on later shelters, although the overall design is the same. Internally, the shelter was sparse and was provided with bunks that have since been removed. Other than electrical fittings, no other features were provided. During the watching brief, no archaeological features or deposits predating the Second World War were exposed, and no artefacts recovered.
