An airfield would be an obvious thing to spot from the sky, making it open to enemy attack.
So, during the Second World War they used some ingenius ideas to camouflage the airfield at Andreas, Isle of Man, which was large enough to land US Flying Fortresses.
This short film is fimed at the site of airfield, which has left abondoned since the conclusion of the war.

This is one of a series of films investigating the Isle of Man during the Second World War.
