Byhurst Farm
BYHURST FARM: Civil aerodrome
Pleasure flights: Leatherhead Aviation Services
Location: Maldon Rushett, 2nm N of Leatherhead town centre
Period of operation: 1920 to 1922
NOTES: The flying displays put on by Leatherhead Flying Services, (created by William G Chapman whom, it appears, taught himself to fly on a Deperdussin before WW1), frequently had parachute drops performed by a French lady, Mme J Finet. Parachuting was justifiably regarded as being a very daring escapade in those days.
