Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by MIRA Ltd to undertake an archaeological standing building survey (Level 2) of two Nissen huts and a photographic record of a World War II blast shelter at their Lindley site, formerly RAF Nuneaton, Higham on the Hill, Leicestershire. The structures are being demolished in advance of the proposed re-development of the site. The airfield at RAF Nuneaton was in use between 1943 and 1945 as an operational training unit (OTU), flying Wellington bombers and later Dakota DC-3 transport aircraft. In 1946 the site was acquired by the Motor Industry Research Association, MIRA and has remained as its headquarters and proving ground. The Nissen Huts and blast shelter are located towards the western perimeter of the former airfield. Both structures are standard World War II designs used extensively at airfields throughout Britain. The Nissen Huts are unusual in that they have remained on their original site. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums, under the museums accession number X.A13.2011.
