HOOE: Military aerodrome
These three pictures are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Royal Flying Corps
78 Sqdn (Royal Aircraft Factory B.E,2 and B.E.12)
Later: 39 Sqdn (Bristol F2b Fighter)
Location: Just N of the A259, about 3.25nm W of Bexhill town centre
Period of operation: October 1916 until February 1918
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. It really has amazed me, since starting this project, now over a quarter of a century ago, just how many military flying sites existed in the U.K. during WW1. There are now over a thousand listed, and, even today in 2025, more are being added.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
