Flying Since 1940

From a RAF airfield to a thriving aviation business, Goodwood Aerodrome was originally created on land that was part of the Estate to assist the War effort.  Known as RAF Westhampnett, this satellite station was active from July 1940 to May 1946 as a Battle of Britain station.  

Flying training began here in 1940 when young pilots were taught operational flying techniques in their Hurricanes and Spitfires.
