RE: Help!!! We need website helpers!!!!!
not my area of aviation but here is a bit i did for another thread about airports in kent (uk).
1) manston – tarmac v force dispersal base. nice musem, new owneres – i saw concorde there acouple of years ago, they are hoping to become the next londo airport.
2) i dunno about lydd other than the above link show a tarmac stip and my old (very) map shows a X shape
3) rochester – gec/marconi/bae/whatever didn’t renew their lease so the flyers there set up a company and got a short lease. the council want to make it a tech park or whatever but the whole loacl paper is full of people against this. unfortunately the council are helbent on getting rid of the airport . there is just 2 grass runways in a x shape. there are 2 hangers and a shed with a soceity that restors plane. they showed off a spitfire recently. i saw and touched the wing, the inside of the engine, tryed to pick up the wheel (they are unboelavble heavy). the air ambulance crashed near here recently – but now its based at headcorn
4) biggin hill – bromley council recently got a deal going to keep it open as an airport. the f1 supremo berrnie eccelston own ta load of the old raf buildings, the runway is curently used by bizz jets but more and more comercial flights are coming in. its a tarmac stip but f16s can’t land but tornados and jags can.
5) headcorn has the air ambulance, it is a grass strip – dunno any more.
6) west malling – i went to the last airshow there in the very early 90’s (i was so small – like 6 or smoething – it was sold off and now is a business park.
7) there is/was a grass stip near folksone (its on some old maps), near the race course, but it can’t find in on new maps – maybee called lympne -near the wild animal park.
8) the ww2 fighter base at gravesend is now a housing estate (since when i dunno – but a long time)
9) the shorts flying boats out of rochester – the whole places is luxary riverside flats now – but the paintings in local galleries are magnificant
10) the detling diversion base of ww2 is now a county showground
11) the home of uk aviation where the wright brother’s had a factory, etc -eastchuch on sheepy is no more – at lest post ww2
12) dunno weather hawkinge is in kent but was a ww2 base.
other than this there was a propasal to turn the bottom half of the isle of sheppy into the the next london airport. and that the breif summary of aviation in kent.
hope that helps -its a small drop in the ocean but it might help 🙂
good luck
rabie :9
