Martin R, spot on at Page and Son.
The original hanger is still there and shown as Combined Frame Makers.

@CAT - to the nearest foot.  Must have been a small building!    So about 500 yards SW of the centre of the airfield.  Presumably where Page & Sons is at the sharp bend on Hopes Lane?  The 1:10560 of 1947-1970 shows an oval building at that point with what looks to be an apron in front.  https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=51.35322&lon=1.40427&layers=193&b=1

Indeed JW, the Ramsgate Airfield plans were for a larger complex and a lot more ground.WW2 got in the way and then investment was reduced.

Well done Grandarog. Over to you.

You were close MartinR, but the building of Ramsgate airport was located at [size=0px]51°21'11.92"N, 001°24'25.84"E[/size]

Took a while as different angle than I recognised .
It is the Church behind the Ripple War Memorial near Deal.

Thanks Beachbum,


I wasn't sure if it was Ramsgate so just took a guess.  On the plan, it shows two extensions at the rear but they don't appear in the photos.

I can't get a precise fix on the building, but the airport was centered on:

• TR 37 67
• 51°21'22"N, 001°24'37"E

according to the OS 1:10,500 map of 1949-1970

Quite an inspirational building, it being in the shape of an aircraft wing.
