SOUTHAMPTON AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Southampton Airport

Aviation began at the site in 1910 when pioneer pilot Edwin Rowland Moon used the meadows belonging to North Stoneham Farm as a take-off and landing spot for his monoplane, Moonbeam Mk II.The site became known as Eastleigh Airfield

World War I: The Royal Flying Corps earmarked the site as an aircraft acceptance base during World War I, but when forces from the United States Navy Air Service (NAS) arrived in 1917 it was handed over to them and designated NAS Eastleigh. Work on the building of hangars which had begun under the Royal Flying Corps was accelerated. At the peak of the American presence, some 4,000 officers and men were billeted in tents and huts along the adjacent London to Southampton railway line

Inter-War years: Map of Air Routes and Landing Places in Great Britain, as temporarily arranged by the Air Ministry for civilian flying, published in 1919, showing Eastleigh as a military and civil station.

After the war, the site became a transit camp for refugees, mainly Russian, who wished to sail to America from the port of Southampton. Shipping companies Cunard and White Star Line (the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company), together with the Canadian Pacific Railway, formed the Atlantic Park Hostel Company to house them temporarily. In 1921, the hangars were converted into dormitories, kitchens and dining rooms.
