Proposed Canford aerodrome - Oakley Flying Field

BX35-03

Very extensive correspondence from May - Aug 1939 concerning a proposed aerodrome on a site adjoining Canford School. Correspondents include the HM (Canning), bursar (Rooth), the Poole Town Clerk, governors, solicitors, the Air Ministry, Allied Schools, Sir Alan Cobham (a prospective parent) and others. The school appears to be fighting a rearguard action as Polle had already approved the site. It seems they were unaware that it would be a commercial operation rather than something for national security. However, despite now regretting their decision, it seems too late to do anything. The correspondence finishes on 3rd August 1939 with no progress having been made; but, since the aerodrome wasn't built, the assumption is that the start of WWII less than a month later, stopped the project.
