The location of the space centre was selected based on various factors. One of the primary benefits of this spaceport is its proximity to the equator, which makes it more efficient, requiring substantially less energy, to launch spacecraft into an near-equatorial, geostationary orbit compared to launching from spaceports at higher latitudes. SOOK is the local airfield.

The terminal, offices and hangars were spaced around Plough Lane, all of which disappeared when CROYDON airport was being constructed and expanded. This includes the area of the WW1 RFC aerodrome, BEDDINGTON.

Cardington 1935

Cardington became one of the major British sites involved in the development of airships in 1915. The airships site was nationalised in April 1919, becoming known as the Royal Airship Works. In preparation for the R101 project the No 1 shed was extended between October 1924 and March 1926; its roof was raised by 35 feet and its length increased to 812 feet. The No. 2 shed (Southern shed) was originally located at RNAS Pulham, Norfolk. It was dismantled there and re-erected at Cardington in 1928. After the crash of the R101, in October 1930, all work stopped in Britain on airships. Cardington then became a storage station.

Gatwick 1935

On 29 March 1920, the transfer of commercial flights from Hounslow to Croydon Airport began, the official opening of which did not take place until 31 March 1921. By the mid-1930s Croydon proved inadequate and on 6 June 1936 Gatwick Airport was inaugurated on the site of an aerodrome dating from 1930. Hendon and Croydon closed in 1968 and 1959 respectively. Too small and too close to urban areas to expand, Croydon Airport was sentenced.

Lympne 1935

Lympne became a civil airfield in 1919 and saw the operation of early air mail services after the 1918 armistice. It was one of the first four airfields in the United Kingdom with customs facilities.

Berlin-Tempelhof 1935

EDDI 1935 BERLIN TEMPELHOF Berlin-Tempelhof airport, opened in 1923, is one of the very first in Germany. On January 6, 1926, Deutsche Luft Hansa A.G. was founded as a result of the merger of Junkers Luftverkehr AG and Deutsche Aero Lloyd. Tempelhof became its headquarters. The terminal was expanded to include new facilities: a restaurant run by Mitropa, a terrace for visitors, and a hotel (Flughafenhotel). By the time the work was completed in 1928, it was clear that the new facilities were not sufficient to cope with the rapid growth in traffic. As early as 1930, a new project for the expansion of Tempelhof Airport was adopted, but this is another story.

Francfort 1935

On 16 November 1909, the world's first airline was founded in Frankfurt am Main: The Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft (DELAG). DELAG then built the first airport in Frankfurt, called Airship Base at Rebstock, which was located in Bockenheim in the western part of the city and was primarily used for airships in the beginning. It opened in 1912 and was extended after World War I, but in 1924, an expert's report already questioned the possibility of further expansions at this location. With the foundation of Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1926, a rapid boom of civilian air travel started, and soon the airship base became too small to handle the demand. Plans for a new and larger airport located in the Frankfurt City Forest south-west of Schwanheim were approved in 1930 but were not realized due to the Great Depression. After the Machtergreifung in 1933, the government revived the plans and started the construction of the new airport.

Hambourg 1935

The airport was opened in January 1911 from private funding by the Hamburger Luftschiffhallen GmbH (HLG), making it the oldest international airport in the world to still be in operation and the second oldest airport in the country after Tempelhof Airport.
