  • La RAF Hornchurch (Royal Air Force Station Hornchurch) était une base de la Royal Air Force (RAF) située à Hornchurch, en Essex, et désormais intégré au borough londonien de Havering. L'aérodrome était connu sous le nom de Sutton's Farm pendant la Première Guerre mondiale car il occupait une partie de la ferme du même nom. Il était utilisé pour la protection de Londres. Bien que l'aérodrome ait été fermé peu après la fin de la guerre, le terrain a été réquisitionné en 1923 en raison de l'agrandissement de la Royal Air Force. Ainsi, lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il sert à couvrir à la fois Londres et le corridor de la Tamise contre les attaques aériennes allemandes. Installation clé de l'armée de l'air entre les deux guerres et dans l'ère des avions à réaction, elle a été fermée en 1962. * Portail de l’aéronautique * Portail de l’histoire militaire * Portail du Royaume-Uni * Portail de Londres (fr)

It was used for the protection of London, being 14 miles (22.5 km) east north-east of Charing Cross. Although the airfield closed shortly after the end of the war, the land was requisitioned in 1923 because of the expansion of the Royal Air Force and it re-opened as a much larger fighter station in 1928. The airfield was ideally to cover both London and the Thames corridor from German air attacks. It was a key air force installation between both wars and into the jet age, closing in 1962. (en)
