Hall Caine airfield Isle of Man 1930's

Welcome to ARG Mike, I take it you have seen the five books that were published about the 20th century archaeology of the IoM by the local government and possibly available at Douglas Library. By volume they were mostly concerned with Jurby, Andreas, the airport plus associated sites such as bombing ranges, radar stations and ASR facilities. The others concentrated on the internment camps and sources.

I take it you have noticed that access to the Manx newspaper archive has been free through Lockdown. You might pick up some odd snippets of information there.

Some dates etc..

Hull Daily Mail - Saturday 10 August 1935

The Manx Government yesterday, on the advice of the Air Ministry, granted a permanent and unrestricted licence to the Hall Came Airport, Ramsey. The airport, which has been in U«e since May, was established by Ralph Hall Caine. M.P., and Sir Derwent Hall Caine, and named affer their father, the famous novelist. Daily services have been established between the airport and London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Carlisle and Blackpool, and already some thousands of passengers have been carried.
