Hi all!

.........am wondering if any member has a complete listing of all the RFC stations in the UK please? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

tim

Best I can do is the following list of aerodromes used in Great Britain 1914/18. I can't claim its 100% but I suspect its close. I've tried to indicate some of the obvious RNAS stations but can't claim to have differentiated them all - in any case some airfields changed service during the war and some were shared. This list will include those used for flights of a larger squadron, advanced strips, temporary strips etc but its a start.
Aldeburgh

Westgate
West Malling
Whiteburn

I think that such a list has been posted and embellished before, but from my very parochial viewpoint I can add these:

Stonehenge
Lopcombe Corner (Wiltshire/Hampshire border)
Challis Hill (Hampshire)
Yatesbury
Lake Down
Lark Hill (closed pre1914)
Old Sarum
Rollestone balloon school (and Tilshead out station)
Rendcomb (Gloucestershire)
Halton (Buckinghamshire)

Moonraker

The following is as comprehensive a listing as I could find over 20+ years. It includes all flying sites in the UK and Ireland, plus one in the Channel Islands. The sites include manufacturers' aerodromes, balloon/airship stations and landing grounds, as well as aerodromes and seaplane stations.

I believe grandad's cousin was in the RFC at Montrose.
Found this on e bay:-

RFC plane over Montrose

Jane

Looks like a Maurice Farman Serie 7 (Longhorn)

...............Many many thanx chaps, it's greatly appreciated for the time everyones taken!! I know here on the island of Ireland, we only have two RFC stations left, the 1st being RAF Aldergrove, and the other down south which is Baldonnel where the blue max film was done back in the 60's.
My thanx to all once again!!

My great grandad served in the RNAS. On his service record he is listed as being at "Furness" in 1917. Do I take this as being Barrow in Furness (as the 2 lists above would suggest) or was Furness somewhere altogether different?

Thanks

I live very close to HARLING ROAD WW1 airfield in Norfolk. ( Harling Road is a staion on the Norwich to cambridge railway route). Still surviving buildings include 1 of the original 5 or 7 hangers ( used as a workshop now for Attleborough commercial vehicles Ltd)-inside it is still in excellent nick and many of the original stove-pipe exits-presumably used for heating!!! still exist¬ The original hospital is now a bungalow and until only 2 years ago the "bomber workshop" was still being used by Van driel engineering as their main workshop! it has now been demolished!! also the original Chapel was still there about 15 years ago-now just a concrete hard-stand. Best wishes Dave.

Fascinating. I have just been up in the loft researching my fathers time in the RAF when I came accross dozens of photo's that belonged to my grandparents. Along with a whole host of portraits of girls in RFC/RAF uniforms there are 2 aerial ones of Feltwell aerodrome taken in May 1918, complete with biplanes on the ground (suspect DH-4's and a smaller scout type) as well as about 10 of Harling Rd aerodrome from the same time. The very vague story goes that my Grandmother was based at Harling road and she used to paint/dope the linen wings and fuselage of the aircraft there. I believe she met my Grandfather here who I suspect was based at Feltwell as ground crew as they married shortly after meeting at an airbase. From what I have discovered 94 Sqn was based at Harling Rd which began training pilots in 1917 on Camels before going operational in May 1918 which was the time my grandparents were there). Evewntually the Sqn moved to France using SE5a's so its nice to know my Gran worked on such iconic aircraft.

Anyway as this is my first post Im not sure if I can post the photo's of the airfileds but if there is any interest let me know. Maybe someone out there knows more about these places which will help me fill in one more piece of our family jigsaw puzzle.

I notice that Maldon is mentioned here as a site. There was never an aerodrome in Maldon itself as such. 37 (HD) Squadron had flights at nearby Goldhanger, Stow Maries and Rochford (with an HQ at Woodham Mortimer). There were a few early baloon launches from the town and seaplane activity nearby at Osea Island. Alan Cobham brought his flying circus here. The USAAF planned a base but it didn't happen - there were WW2 aerodromes not far away at Birch (US) and Bradwell (RAF).

I was fortunate to visit the RAF Scampton museum last year. They have some info about the original RFA aerodrome.Some idiot had pinched one of the original postcards in an album of the actual site.
On a lighter note, I used to live in uphill Lincoln near an old RFA depot. It was called Stores Park and was located just off Ravendale Drive/Longdales Road

A site at Maldon, and named as such, was designated as a night landing ground for 37 Sqn's flight at Rochford during late 1916.

Thanks - I think you will find that was Goldhanger or (if not) it didn't ever happen.

Regards.

Need to add Feltwell (now a USAF Deep Space Tracking centre) to this list. See my photo taken on 29th May 1918 on Feltwell & Harling Rd post for conclusive proof

Mick,
I notice that Enfield is on your list, do you happen to know where in Enfield the site was and what squadron were based there ?

Many thanks.
Stuart

....RFC (now RAF) weston on the green is missing!

Always had a soft spot for Montrose myself - a cracking little museum there now that's well worth a visit. (They're always interested in hearing from anyone who's relatives were stationed there.) I've yet to meet 'Arthur' though!

cheers

Steve

Where on earth was Smoogroo???

Bruce

ENFIELD
160/177 : (51) TQ 3—9-- : Middlesex (London Borough of Enfield).
HD NLG RFC 1915 only.
Note – the exact location of this site has not been traced but it is probable that it was the RFC name for RNAS Chingford, just as RNAS Hainault Farm was named Romford by the RFC.

SMOOGROO
06/06 : (N30) HY 362057 : Mainland, Orkney Islands : 116 acres.
Kite Balloon Station RNAS 1917 – 1918 : Fleet Practice Ground and Fleet Practice Station RNAS/RAF 1917 – 1919 : Listed as unavailable for civilian use 22.1.1920.
Three Bessoneau hangars.
28 (Operations) Group 1918

Smoogroo - yes, not to far from Orphir. In fact when my wife was growing up on Orkney their house was practically on it. As a school girl her and her friend apparently used to nip over to one of the old buildings for a crafty fag!

cheers

Steve

Very interesting thread. When you think you can add RNAS seaplane stations to Britain's airstation infrastructure it shows how massive air power had become in such a short space of time.

Mick, many thanks for your reply, the airfield at Chingford was approximately where the reservoirs are which are next to the A110 Lea Valley Rd.
Incidently I have heard several times ( although probably just an old wives tale ) that a German WW2 bomber is said to come down in one of the reservoirs and is still there, mind you a Hurricane was discovered in nearby Epping Forest sometime in the 70s so I suppose you never know there might be an element of truth in the story.

Thanks.
Stuart

I must not go off topic but I think I helped excavate that Hurricane. Unless I am wide of the mark I seem to remember the pilot was Gleeve?
