Everyone seems to have forgotten that Robin Hood did not exist. He's a character from fiction.
A better name would surely have been Colonel Samuel Cody Airport.
Doncaster racecourse was the scene of the country's first aviation meeting during 18th to 23rd October 1909.
During the Doncaster event there were trophies and cash prizes for the various events. The American, self styled, "Colonel" Samuel Franklin Cody even changed his nationality by signing papers in front of the crowd in order to compete for the Daily Mail prize of £1000 for flying a 1 mile circular route by an all British aircraft and pilot.
The event was held at Doncaster Race Course.
