Royal Naval Air Station Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus) was one of the primary shore airfields of the Fleet Air Arm. First established as a seaplane base in 1917 during the First World War, it later became the main training establishment and administrative centre of the Fleet Air Arm. Situated near Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire, approximately four miles west of Portsmouth on the coast of the Solent. Used by both the Fleet Air Arm and the RAF this Airfield has seen much activity over the years, not to mention playing its role in the preparations for D-Day, so what better place to be than Lee-on-the-Solent with your cameras on the 8th of June.
