United Kingdom

Southern Counties Airfields

RAF Westhampnett
Westhampnett was built as an emergency fighter landing, a satellite of RAF Tangmere. Both airfields are on the Goodwood Estate, then owned by the Duke of Richmond (an avid pilot and racing buff)
http://www.wartimememories.co.uk/airfields/westhampnett.html
Lord Richmond held on to the deed for the land, and after the war, converted the airport perimeter road into the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, which opened in 1948.
The control tower is now known as The`Control Tower Cafe’.
http://www.goodwood.co.uk/

RAF Wisley
Wisley airfield was acquired by Vickers-Armstong in 1943. It was used for military purposes until 1945 and as aeroplanes became larger and needed longer runways it was used for final assembly and test flying of the new generation of turbo-prop and jet military aircraft and airliners. For example, most of the Valiants first took to the air from Wisley. Many prototypes were tested here. The maiden flight of VC 10 prototype G-ARTA took it from Brooklands to Wisley, where the aircraft was flight tested. The BAC 1-11 was also tested here.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~robdebie/me163/vf241.htm

RAF Tangmere
In November 1916, a pilot flying in fog was thankful to make a safe landing in a clear area at Tangmere. His report concluded that the area would be ideal for an aerodrome. The War Office, then seeking suitable sites, was interested, as the USA needed to re-train its airmen to fly British Handley Page bombers. The two governments agreed to construct five sites along the south coast. Tangmere was one of them.
http://www.controltowers.co.uk/T-V/Tangmere.htm
The Museum was opened in 1982 with exhibits depicting 70 years of military aviation in Sussex, with special emphasis on the RAF at Tangmere and the air war over southern England from 1939 to 1945.
http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/

RAF Shoreham
Active.
http://www.shorehamairport.co.uk/

RAF Selsey
RAF Selsey was established as an advanced landing ground in May 1943 and during the invasion it played an important part in the air cover of the beaches. The first German aircraft shot down on D Day was the victim of a Spitfire from RAF Selsey.
Little remains of the airfield today that occupied the open fields at Church Norton, 1 mile North of Selsey.
http://www.selsey.org.uk/hisstory.htm

RAF Redhill
Redhill aerodrome opened in 1934 to accommodate the Original Redhill Flying Club, and subsequent events showed that it also afforded a valuable emergency alternative for Imperial Airways encountering bad weather en route to Croydon.
In 1937 the deteriorating international situation led to the RAF opening Elementary and Reserve Training Schools at Redhill and by 1938 these were operating alongside some twelve DH Moth club aircraft. Two years later Redhill became an RAF satellite of Kenley, and in 1941 became the base for No.1 Hurricane Squadron.
http://www.deltaaviation.co.uk/html/aerodrome_redhill.html

RAF Pulborough
RLG for Tangmere. Now Parham Gliding site.
http://www.sgc1.org/

RAF Merston
Returned to crops but some buildings remain.

RAF Kenley
Opened summer 1917 as No 7 Aircraft Acceptance Park. Fighter Sqns based here from 1918.
4/18, No.1 (Communications) Sqn flying to France. Station partly rebuilt 1920 and again 1932-34. Rebuilt again 1939 and concrete runways laid, 6 of the 14 Belfast hangars were demolished.
1940 became Sector Station HQ for B Sector, 11 Group, Fighter Command. Severely attacked 18/8/40, and many times during the Battle of Britain. One of the main Fighter stations during the Battle of Britain and through the rest of the war. The last operation was flown 13/3/44, then closed to flying 5/44 due to the proximity of the barrage balloon defence against the flying bombs.
Communications and observation flights post war along with gliding. The films 'Angels One Five' and 'Reach for ths Sky' filmed here in the 1950s. Closed 1/5/59 although gliding continued until 2/66.
http://www.controltowers.co.uk/H-K/Kenley.htm

RAF Horne
It consisted of two grass runways and perimeter tracks with storage and tented accommodation. Over 300 RAF personnel from England, Canada, Poland, Australia, New Zealand and probably other countries served at Horne
http://www.hornepark.co.uk/history.html

RAF Hammerwood
R.A.F. used the house for S.O.E. operations to France flying Lysanders from a temporary runway to the north of the Park.

RAF Gatwick
Opened as a civil airport in 1930, major building work carried out in 1936. ?
1/10/37 to 1/9/39, No. 19 Elementary and Reserve Flying Training School with Tiger Moths, Harts and Magisters. Transferred to 18 E&RFTS at Fairoaks.
5/40 to 1/45, Airfield used by several Army Co-operation Command Sqns, on training duties and operational sorties. Operational fighter bomber and photographic sorties also flown.
1/45 to 5/45, used by SHAEF disarmament unit.
5/45 to 8/45, used temporarily by several Sqns.
/46 to 3/56, used by several civillian companies including Airwork servicing Sea Hornets and Seafires. 9/6/58, after extensive rebuilding became Londons second airport.
http://www.controltowers.co.uk/G/Gatwick.htm

RAF Funtingdon
Funtington was the site of a small RAF airfield for Hawker Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain, and other airframes later in the war.

RAF Friston
During 1940, Gayles Farm and a large portion of Exceat Farm were requisitioned as an R.A.F emergency landing ground. Facilities were later upgraded and operations recommenced during May 1942. the first real action involving Friston was when two squadrons of Hurricanes were temporarily stationed there for the 'Dieppe Raid'. As Friston was the nearest airfield this side of the Channel, it received a number of crippled aircraft on its two grass runways that fateful day.
Today, very little evidence survives, the area now forming a quiet backdrop to the Seven Sisters.
http://www.sevensisters.org.uk/education/history.html

RAF Ford
Regular Sunday markets are held here as can be seen.

RAF Coolham
Coolham was an advanced landing ground used during the Normandy campaign in 1944. Few remnants survive - some taxiway to N edge of field. Memorial in local village.

RAF Chailey
Mobile control van. Few remains, open farmland . Airfield reactivated every now and again for flying displays. RAF Chailey was constructed in 1943 on Bower Farm as an ALG (Advanced Landing Ground) for operation in 1944 in support of D-Day June 6th 1944. Chailey was home to three RAF Squadrons of Polish Spitfires, nos 302, 308 and 317 Squadrons. 2004 air display: "One Spitfire, owned by Historic Aircraft Collection, is in the markings of 317 Squadron. This particular Spitfire, code number BM597, Squadron markings JH-C (JH being the code for 317) was indeed flown by some of the Polish pilots who served at Chailey sixty years ago. This is quite remarkable, indeed, it is hoped to have some of these veterans present for the airshow. Some veteran pilots made it to the first show in 2000 and to the Memorial dedication which took place at the nearby Plough Pub, just half a mile away. In reality the Plough Pub owes its existence to the airfield! To make way for the airfield, the old Plough Pub had to be demolished as it was under the intended flight path of the main east-west runway! A temporary Pub was erected to cater for the obvious indignant locals and of course the ensuing additional trade! The existing Pub was built in 1955." http://www.spitfireart.com/caspress_release.html

RAF Bognor
Extinct.
The Squadrons involved were 331 and 332 Squadrons, who were Norwegians, 19 Squadron, 66 Squadron, 602 Squadron and also an American Squadron.

RAF Appledram
At Apuldram, a military airfield was established towards the end of WW2 . This was an Advanced Landing Ground (ALG) prior to the invasion of Europe. Construction of the cruciform runway began in February 1943 using Sommerfield tracking. The airfield was derequisitioned in November 1944 and dismantled in January 1945. There is no visible trace left.
