RAF Hythe was an RAF base situated in Hythe, Hampshire, 10 miles (16 km) south of Southampton on the western side of Southampton Water.

Hangars were first erected here by May-Harden-May Ltd and acquired by Supermarine in 1925.

The site was used for the final assembly of marine aircraft.

Later, from 1967, the facilities were used by the US Field Army Support Brigade/Combat Equipment Battalion-Hythe, mainly for small boat repairs.

[3][4] The site was acquired by the South East England Development Agency in October 2007, and has since been developed into the Hythe Marine Park, home to a number of maritime and marine production facilities.
