Croydon 1935

EGC1 (EGCR) LONDON CROYDON At the end of WW1 this was WADDON aerodrome, which included the No.1 National Aircraft Factory. When WADDON was selected to become the international airport for London, to supersede HOUNSLOW and CRICKLEWOOD, it was originally known as The London Terminal Aerodrome, Waddon, Croydon. 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.
