Proposed Langstone Harbour Air Base
Proposed Langstone Harbour Air Base Photograph of a Short S.23 Empire flying boat that might one day have flown from Langstone Harbour. Havant History Booklet No. 57 To view, comment, and order all booklets visit: www.hhbkt.com £3 2 Proposed Langstone Harbour Air Base For some time past the Air Ministry, in conjunction with Imperial Airways have been seeking a suitable place to establish a base in this country to form the terminus for the long distance Empire and Trans-Atlantic air routes. These long distance routes are to be operated by means of flying boats rather than land planes and a number of large machines are at present being built for Imperial Airways. The Air Ministry required a site having a considerable area of sheltered water, of reasonable depth, free from obstructions to flying and in a situation not subject to fogs in order that the air liners could operate at all seasons of the year. It was also of material advantage if the site were easily accessible by road and rail from London. After considering a number of alternative sites in Ireland, on the Medway, at Southampton and Portsmouth, the Air Ministry and Imperial Airways have decided that Langstone Harbour, which is on the East side of Portsmouth, is suitable and the Portsmouth City Council are proposing to proceed with a comprehensive scheme estimated to cost about £1,200,000 for the development of the harbour as an Empire Air Base. In view of the fact that a large portion of Langstone Harbour is situated within the Urban District of Havant and Waterloo it is necessary for the County Council to consider the possible effect of the proposed scheme on the areas of the County which adjoin the harbour. -
An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Hampshire Test and Its Tributaries
Hampshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews along the Hampshire Test and its tributaries Part 3 – The Lower Test By Peter Norton Introduction: The Test rises at Ashe, just to the west of Basingstoke and on its way through Hampshire is fed from many streams and brooks emanating from the west and one main stream from the east. After flowing through Stockbridge and Romsey, it converges in Southampton with the Itchen some 40 miles from its source. At this point it becomes Southampton Water which flows into the Solent before reaching the open sea. The west tributaries include the Bourne Rivulet, Anton, Wallop Brook, Dun, Blackwater and Bartley Water. The east tributaries include the Dever, Tadburn and Tanners Brook. The Lower Test This is the last of three reports that split the River Test into three sections; Upper, Middle and Lower. The Lower Test is described as from just north of Romsey to its confluence with the Itchen, covering a distance of some 12 miles by road. Along its path it is joined by the Tadburn, Blackwater, Bartley Water and Tanners Brook. All of the towns and villages along this part of the Test and its tributaries were included, with 18 churches visited, of which 12 contained yews. All churches are in Hampshire unless otherwise stated. Of the 26 yews noted at these sites, 11 had measurements recorded. The graph below groups the measured yews ac- cording to their girth, presented here in metric form. It does not include yews whose girth was estimated*. Where a tree has been measured at different heights, the measurement taken closest to the root/ground is used for this graph. -
