Shoreham Airfield dome trainer is a Second World War training structure located in Sussex. The dome, positioned approximately 240 metres south-west of Sussex Pad Hotel, represents a specialised form of aerial gunnery instruction apparatus employed by the Royal Air Force during the 1939-1945 conflict. Such dome trainers were used to familiarise aircrew with anti-aircraft defence procedures and weapons handling in a controlled environment before operational deployment. The monument survives as a material record of wartime RAF training infrastructure and the preparations undertaken to equip personnel for active service.
