WWII Walmer Royal Air Force Camp site visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 [2], located in Walmer. These features were not visible on aerial photographs taken in 1942 [3] when the area was an unused plot of land. The site measured 65 x 35m and was located on a domestic road. It was comprised of six nissen huts, two large buildings, eight structures and associated pathways. The area was seen to have been developed as a housing estate on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [4].

This camp lay 70m WNW of another military camp (MWX43651).
