Old parts of Lasham Airfield's historic World War II site (Picture: SWNS/Jordan Bridge).

The longest British heatwave since 1976 has revealed the outline of a Second World War airfield once part of Lasham Airfield.

The Hampshire airfield was previously known as RAF Lasham which opened in 1942 as a Forward fighter airfield.

The De Havilland Mosquito took off from the airfield during the war, and took part in the heroic air raids of April 1944 when 613 Squadron bombed the Central Records Registry of the Gestapo in the Hague, Netherlands.

Nowadays the airfield is used as a gliding centre.
