The historic Goodwood Aerodrome was developed during the
Second World War by the Royal Air Force as a relief landing
ground for nearby RAF Tangmere. The Airfield was created
on land which formed part of the Goodwood Estate, home to
the Dukes of Richmond for over 300 years, and was donated
by the 9th Duke of Richmond – the renowned amateur racer
and aircraft engineer Freddie March – to assist the war effort.
