Another
very interesting talk by local author and historian Kevin Patience.
Kevin joined us in February with his remarkable talk of stories and tales of
the shortest war in history in the late 1800's in east Africa. It had us all so captivated.
Kevin will be joining us again and sharing history and facts of
Aviation around Poole Bay and the part it played in connection with aviation
from 1910–1976. Seaplanes operated from
Poole in the First World War and in 1939 the harbour was taken over by Imperial
Airways later B.O.A.C. now British Airways as a base for the Empire Class
flying boats.
The
Second World War saw Poole become one of the busiest airports in the world
operating flying boats and seaplanes from B.O.A.C., the Royal Air Force and the
Royal Navy.
Brownsea Island became a STARFISH decoy base and was part of the defences in the protection of the Royal Navy cordite factory at Holton Heath. Poole was bombed on several occasions and was heavily defended in case of German invasion.
During the Battle of Britain, Poole and the surrounding area witnessed many dog fights overhead and had its fair share of aircraft crashes and in June 1944 was a key port for the D Day invasion. It is the 80th anniversary of D-Day this month-6 June.
Kevin tells a side to the story of Poole that few people realise
took place in this seaside town on Dorset’s south coast.
