    The first squadrons based at the aerodrome were 400, 414 and 430 Squadrons, RCAF, equipped with Curtiss Tomahawks and North American Mustangs. They were followed by the North American Mitchell Mk II medium bombers of No. 139 Wing RAF, consisting of 98 and 180 Squadrons RAF, and 320 Squadron (formed from Dutch Naval Aviation Service personnel). When 139 Wing departed for the continent in the autumn of 1944, 83 Group Support Unit (later 83 Group Disbandment Centre) arrived with Spitfires, Typhoons and Tempests. After the war the airfield was used by the RAF to repatriate prisoners of war.

    Dunsfold was declared inactive by the RAF in 1946 but was then used by Skyways Ltd.

    In 1950, The Hawker Aircraft Company acquired the lease of the site. Dunsfold became internationally known for development of the Hunter jet fighter.

    Hawker Siddeley became part of British Aerospace in 1977. On 24 June 1999, British Aerospace announced the closure of Dunsfold as part of a restructuring.

    In 2002, BAE Systems (British Aerospace's successor) sold Dunsfold Aerodrome to The Rutland Group, which formed Dunsfold Park Ltd. Since mid-2002 the BBC motoring show Top Gear has been recorded at the park using a hangar as a studio and parts of the runways and taxiways of the aerodrome as the test track.

    Excellent work, thank you.

    Sadly the future of Dunsfold is very much in the balance at the moment, the developers are circling and it could be lost forever...only to live on in MSFS.

    I agree with kerbgrinder, it would be nice to see the correct types/liveries for the statics.....very nice VC10 model though :-)
