Men of an RAF Airfield Construction Wing finish off the 5,000ft runway at Lingevres (B-19), 6 August 1944. Iron stakes are being driven in to secure the metal SMT (square-mesh track) surface, which was stored in rolls and had to be correctly tensioned to prevent it flexing in use. The airstrip took a mere six days to complete, and was the first to be constructed in Normandy by RAF manpower alone. © IWM CL 709

The RAF Beach Units website has been online since 2007. With time and technology marching on, the website needed to be re-platformed and so the work has begun.
