RAF WESTHAMPNETT - Goodwood Revival
There were some changes this year to the Goodwood Revival 2021 with Andy Kyte, Dave Piper and friends recreating RAF Westhampnett. The airfield was originally created on Goodwood Estate land which was donated by Freddie March, the 9th Duke of Richmond, the renowned amateur racer and aircraft engineer to assist the war effort. Known as RAF Westhampnett, it was active from July 1940 to May 1946 as a Battle of Britain station, and home to 43, 129, 145, 602 and 616 Squadrons, operating Hawker Hurricanes, P-51 Mustangs, and Supermarine Spitfires.
