The airfield retains its runways largely in square SS4934 and control tower but no helicopters are visible: no 22 Squadron search and rescue is or was based here. Chivenor was the base where the Leigh Light was brought into use by Coastal Command in the U-Boat offensive in World War II.

Today the complex is a Royal Marines base. Beyond the airfield, the Taw estuary |
