P R E S S R E L E A S E : Launch of Dunsfold Airfield History Society
Formed by a group of people with a love of local history, today marks the launch of a new community group in Waverley, Surrey.
Its name describes its focus; the Dunsfold Airfield History Society (DAHS) will be concerned with every aspect of the historic events that are associated with the former military aerodrome as well as its still-existing physical assets. This includes:
- Its origins as a Canadian-built WW2 bomber airfield
- Association with the Berlin Air Lift
- Early post-war civil aviation (‘Skyways’)
- The development of some iconic British fighter jets (the Hawk, Hunter, and perhaps most importantly the Harrier jump jet)
- The modern-day use of the aerodrome for major events such as ‘Wings and Wheels’
