Llandudno flying sites
Note: This map only gives the position for Llandudno town within the UK. As mentioned below, if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
LLANDUDNO see also PENRHYN BAY
LLANDUDNO see also RHOS-on-SEA, DENBIGHSHIRE
LLANDUDNO: Civil aerodrome (aka LLANDUDNO & NORTH WALES AERODROME)
NOTES: The reason for having this seperate entry for Llandudno flying sites is simply because, unlike the beach site (see seperate LLANDUDNO entry) is simply because I cannot find convincing evidence of exactly where these sites were positioned.
Could this, and even the site listed below, actually have been nearby RHOS-on-SEA then situated in DENBIGHSHIRE? In his excellent book British Built Aircraft Vol.5 Ron Smith states that, “A Short-Wright biplane and a Farman biplane were reported to be flying at the Llandudno and North Wales Aerodrome in August 1911.” Any advice on this will be most welcome.
A QUERY - WHERE IS THIS?
It has been from the start of researching this 'Guide', over a quarter of a century ago in 2026, as much a task for asking questions rather than always attempting to provide answers. This being a good example. I may already have this location listed, but my knowledge of North Wales is totally inadequate in order to try and pinpoint this location. Advice will be much appreciated.
This picture from a postcard was kindly sent by Mike Charlton in February 2026. The date of posting appearing to be 1934. If correct G-EBOK was registered to Williams and Company, based in Blackpool. from 14.04.34 until 02.01.37. The three-seater Avro 548 was a fairly rare 'bird' with only 38 examples being built of the type, and it appears that these varied quite a bit according to customers individual requirements.
LLANDUDNO: Temporary aerodrome
Operated by: Sir Alan Cobham’s 1935 display tour
Location: ?
Period of operation: The 6th and 7th August 1935
