Comment thread "History" for Chichester/Goodwood Airport

During World War II, this was RAF Westhampnett. Two fighter squadrons (145 and 602) were based here during the Battle of Britain. Later in the war, the USAAF also used the field. It became a civilian airfield after the war.

Since the late 1940s, a motor racing track, the "Goodwin Circuit", has run around the airport perimeter.
