Pett
Note: This map only shows the position of Pett village within the UK. It generally appears that the location of the Landing Ground is now not known, but I doubt this is correct? If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be most welcome.
PETT: Military Landing Ground (also known as HASTINGS)
Military users: RFC/RAF (Royal Flying Corps / Royal Air Force)
50 [Home Defence] Sqdn (Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 & B.E.12 types, Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 and later Sopwith Camels)
Location: In/near Pett village, roughly 5nm NE of Hastings town centre
Period of operation: 1916 to 1918 (Some say 1917)
