Airfield Defences.
With the dramatic success of the German airborne landings in the Low Countries during 1940 Britain's airfields were considered to be exposed to a risk of paratroop attack. Prior to this point airfields had only been lightly defended with a few Lewis anti-aircraft guns around the perimeter.
In order to limit this threat, new defences were constructed, including slit trenches, pillboxes, more light anti-aircraft guns and barbed wire, as well as a number of new innovations including the Battle Headquarters, the Pickett Hamilton Fort and Seagull trenches.
