March 1916
NEW AIRFIELD at SOMERTON
By March 1916, J S White and Company had developed their aviation
business to the point where they were able to use a large complex
at Somerton. For manufacture, the company used a twenty acre site
near Nodes Farm, Somerton, which is today used by Plessey. For
flying their aircraft, Whites used a sixty acre field across the
Newport road from the factory, between Nodes Farm and Three Gates
road. |
