Description
Bournemouth Airport Through Time by Mike Phipp explores the airport's rich history from its early days as RAF Hurn during World War II to its current role in serving airlines such as Ryanair. The airport played a significant part in the development of radar technology and supported the D-Day invasion, before becoming Britain's main international airport until BOAC departed in 1946. After the war, Hurn was used for industrial purposes by companies like Airwork and Vickers-Armstrongs, while also hosting the College of Air Traffic Control from 1948 to 2011. This book takes a comprehensive look at Bournemouth Airport's history, from its early years to the present day, offering a unique perspective on the airport's development and significance. Through photographs and historical accounts, Mike Phipp brings the story of Bournemouth Airport to life, providing a fascinating insight into the airport's past and its continued importance in modern aviation.
