Today the remains of the airfield sit on New Forest Crown land managed by the Forestry Commission.

The following units were here at some point:[3] Stoney Cross was known as USAAF Station AAF-452 for security reasons during the war, and by which it was referred to instead of location.

Runways were broken up in the 1960s, putting an end to their use for informal driving lessons,[4] to meet demands for hardcore in the area and most of the usable buildings were sold.

In 1986 RAF Stoney Cross hit the national news when a Hampshire Constabulary-led police operation evicted a large group of Peace Convoy travellers from the airfield site.

BBC2 recorded the week-long occupation leading to an early-morning eviction in the documentary 'Seven Days At Stoney Cross (1986) [6] The concrete roads in Longbeech still exist but those on the remainder of the airfield that had survived the earlier 'blitz' were removed in the 1990s.
