NOTES: I know I keep repeating this message but it really is important. To learn much, much more about the often fascinating history many of these WW1 airfields you really should join the Cross & Cockade Aviation Historical Society - it doesn’t cost much. Or the Airfield Research Group of course.
CLIPSTON opened in December 1916. In other words it was barely operational in 1916.
