Lily and Clover
Lily and Clover were two experimental floating airfields tested towards the end of the Second World War by the British Admiralty. Based on a similar concept to the Mulberry harbour used for the Normandy landings in 1944, Lily and Clover were two different types of floating airstrips that would allow the Royal Navy to operate aircraft before a shore base is secured and removed the need for an aircraft carrier.
