Shanklin
Note: THis map shows the position for APSE MANOR aerodrome, which I now believe was also known as SHANKLIN. Could anybody be kind enough to help sort this out. Such advice will be most welcome.
SHANKLIN: The mystery aerodrome? (Presumably APSE MANOR?)
Shanklin on a 1935 chart
NOTES: Sorting out the various flying sites on the Isle-of-Wight really has been a bit of a nightmare. One author calls a location by one name, another author by a different name.
However, despite fifteen years of research, I still cannot determine the history of SHANKLIN. And yet here it is, bold as brass, on a 1935 aviation chart.
Can anybody help to resolve this?
