Kennel Farm - Warlingham Airfield
Kennel Farm airfield Chelsham, Warlingham, has been the subject of a local council 'consultation' on housing development and coincidentally ( well, it obviously isn't a coincidence ) 'No Trespassing' notices have now gone up. This has been an open-access unfenced field for as long as anyone can remember and a favourite spot for dog-walking, bird watching and recently Hang Gliding & Parasailing by winch - operated I believe by Green Dragons who are based nearby in Woldingham. Kennel Farm was apparently a Q Decoy site during the war and I would welcome any photos or memories of this and its use as an airfield which will help protect its future. I've attached a pic which incidentally also shows the "Hamsey Green' airfield operated from 1933 to 1957 ( originally the 'Gardner' private airfield and subsequently during and after the war by ATC Glider 162. Any photos / memories of this also appreciated. Terry Haynes

| “ | Having spent my childhood from the 1950's and 1960's in Meadway which is just to the back of the what was the airfield, qwe spent many a time playing in the disused hanger and the two air raid shelters, the hanger was of a metal type with breze block internal walls, which were divided up into about ten roosm or so, with a large service area of the aircraft, both front and back had a large concrete hard standing area, and about a 100 yards away there was a large crator which we call the bomb hole, having made a recent visit to the area a year or so ago, it was to my horror that I discovered the hanger had been removed, the air raid shelters were no longer there and the bomb hole filled in, what a shame to loose some of our History ” |
