Dale Airfield is a Second World War military airfield located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, established as part of the coastal defence infrastructure of south Wales during the conflict. The airfield was developed to provide fighter and reconnaissance capabilities in support of operations over the Bristol Channel and South Wales, serving as a forward air base during a critical period of the war. The site retains physical evidence of its military function, including dispersed airfield structures and defence works characteristic of wartime RAF installations. Following its operational closure, the airfield represents an important archaeological and historical record of Britain's air defence strategy during the 1940s.
