Summary edit
| Description |
English: Southend ATC. This is the Air Traffic Control building and the apron at "London" Southend Airport framed under the tail of a rather bedraggled BAE146 that has been waiting for a buyer since at least 2003. You can get some better views of the aircraft at http://myaviation.net/search/search.php?view=®nr=B-632L. Southend Airport began life as a fighter field in WW1 to counter the bomber raids that were occurring in the latter end of the war. The airfield closed in the 1920's but became the Southend's municipal airport in the 1930's. It was requisitioned in 1939 as RAF Rochford a satellite of RAF Hornchurch. Civilian flying began again in 1947, In the 1960's Carvair air car ferries operated from here http://www.geocities.com/anjapaul/description.htm Famously carrying James Bond's Aston Martin to Switzerland in "Goldfinger".

Much information was gleaned from Graham Smith's book "Essex Airfields In The Second World War". http://www.countrysidebooks.co.uk/book-catalogue-category.php?category=44 |
