The former RAF Thorney Island. Seen from British Airways A380-841 G-XLEG inbound to Heathrow from Los Angeles. We had run along the south coast to the Portsmouth area before turning north for Heathrow. Opened in 1938 the RAF occupied this airfield until it closed on 31 March 1976. The last units here were 242 OCU and 46 Squadron flying the Andover C1. In 1984 the Army took over the site, specifically the Royal Artillery and the base is currently known as Baker Barracks.
