Captain Airclues.

Well done Dave.

The first flight into Port Meadow was May 1911 when Herbert Latham landed in an Antoinette monoplane. It all ended in tears when he crashed.

The Royal Artillery were also based there. As was No.1 Training Squadron.

The last flying movement was in early 1919.

A camp was set up at Port Meadow in 1940 to accommodate evacuees from Dunkirk.

The river in the back ground is the River Isis, a tributary of the Thames, I think and the three span bridge I think carries the B4044. Looking at Google Earth, there is not much left now. Pity.

Good challenge !!

Thanks guys, I think Dave has declared open house.

Seagull.

Usually the person who identifies the aerodrome posts the next picture. If they are not in a position to post, 'open house' anyone can post. Like now, why don't you post a picture but be quick, !!!!!!
