Bournemouth Airport was first opened as RAF Hurn on 1 August 1941,
one of the bases established by the RAF to counter the Luftwaffe
presence across the Channel in northern France. RAF Hurn would go
on to serve as a base for the development of radar in aircraft and
as a base for bombers and fighter-bombers supporting the D-Day
invasion of France. BOAC operated civilian services from Hurn as
early as January 1942, flying at first just to Cairo but later to
Madrid, Lisbon and Ireland, and between the end the war and 1 June
1946 Hurn was Britain's main international airport. After the
departure of BOAC, Hurn was used as an industrial centre by
companies such as Airwork, de Havilland and Vickers-Armstrongs, as
well as playing host from 1948 until 2011 to the College of Air
Traffic Control. Bournemouth Airport today serves airlines such as
Ryanair and various charter services. In this book, Mike Phipp
takes a look at the history of Bournemouth Airport from its early
years to the present day.
