Shoreham Airfield dome trainer is a reinforced concrete structure dating from the Second World War, constructed as part of the airfield's operational infrastructure during the 1940s. The dome, located 240 metres south-west of Sussex Pad Hotel within the Shoreham Airfield complex near Worthing, served as a training facility or protective structure associated with the airfield's military operations. Its reinforced concrete construction reflects the engineering methods employed for airfield defence and training during wartime, when such structures were essential to RAF operations in south-east England. The monument survives as evidence of the intensive military use of Shoreham Airfield during the Second World War period.
