Lower Beeding
Note: This map only shows my estimation of where this airfield might have been. If anybody can kindly either confirmation this, or provide a more exact location, this advice will be most welcome.
LOWER BEEDING: Military Landing Ground (Possibly aka PLUMMERS PLAIN?)
Military users: RFC/RAF
39 (Home Defence) Sqdn (B.E.2s, B.E.12s & Bristol Fighters)
78 (Home Defence) Sqdn (B.E.2s, B.E.12s, Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters & Sopwith Camels)
Location: In/near Lower Beeding where the B2101 joins the A281, roughly 3nm SE of Horsham centre
Period of operation: 1917 to 1919
Site area: 69 acres 805 x 485
NOTES: Used as both a day and night Landing Ground.
Both of the squadrons listed were, more or less, in the process of being re-equipped when this airfield opened and therefore it is quite possible that their B.E.2s and B.E.12s weren't seen here.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
