Bodorgan initially had one Blister hangar, with two Bellman hangars added later. Accommodation for personnel was initially in tents, which were replaced by Nissen and Maycrete huts for accommodation, workshops and technical functions. The hangars were dismantled soon after the airfield closed, but some of the huts remain at the site.[1]
In 1942 the fields to the east of the airfield were used for the camouflaged storage of up to thirty Wellington bombers.[1]
The following units were here at some point:[2]
