RN operations
The R.N. Air Section was part of the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment t (AFEE) which moved to RAF Beaulieu from RAF Farnborough on 4 January 1945.
The AFEE was involved in experimental work with glider towing and parachute drops, using the former East Boldre Airfield site on the far side of the Lymington-Beaulieu road as a drop zone.
The AFEE was disbanded on 14 September 1950.
Nothing is known about the work conducted by the RN element of the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment.
