Harwich flying sites
Note: This map only gives the general location of the part of Harwich used within the UK.
HARWICH: Naval Air Station
NOTES: In his book Old Flying Days published in about 1927 C C Turner makes mention of the HARWICH Naval Air Station being formed in 1913
HARWICH: Public Seaplane Port
Harwich on a 1935 aviation chart
NOTES: Shown on a 1935 Ordnance Survey Aviation Map as being a totally separate entity from FELIXSTOWE which was of course on the other side of the Stour estuary and a military establishment. A 1934 edition of Air Pilot states that Customs were on site although rather oddly it doesn’t state it was a ‘licensed site’. But, does anybody now know who was operating from HARWICH, what aircraft they were flying, and what they were doing?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
