South EastYou are in: Inside Out > South East > Kingsnorth Air Base  Kingsnorth Air BaseInside Out has unearthed a unique picture which rediscovers a vital piece of Britain's World War One history. Until recently virtually nothing was left to remember the country's most important naval air defence base. PhotoThe chance discovery of a photograph in East Sussex has rekindled memories of the Kingsnorth airbase in Kent which is now a power station. The photo of the 1,000 men and women who served there, and the story of the picture's owner, has inspired the Fleet Air Arm to erect a permanent memorial at Kingsnorth. If you think one of your relatives might have served at Kingsnorth then you can take a look at the BBC Kent website where you can also make contact with others who may also be interested in Kingsnorth, WW1 naval warfare and the birth of aviation. last updated: 28/01/2009 at 14:32 SEE ALSOYou are in: Inside Out > South East > Kingsnorth Air Base |
