Stracathro Airfield is visible on postwar vertical air photographs (CPE/Scot/ UK 228, 3090-3092; 4430-4433, 28 June 1947), which show that all the aircraft hangars had been removed by this date.

The technical buildings and dispersed camps (see also ) are all visible on the air photographs as is the single pillbox situated to the SW of the minor road which passes to the W of the airfield.

The site of the main technical area (NO66SW 34.01), is now occupied by Muir of Pert piggery which has utilised some of the original buildings.

The runways have reverted to their original agricultural use and a new field boundary has been built across the central area.
