Darrell's Island, Bermuda

The islands of the Great Sound were part of the Royal Naval land purchases in Bermuda following the American War of Independence.

In 1936, Imperial Airways built an air station on Darrell's Island.

This operated as a staging point on scheduled trans-Atlantic flights by Imperial Airways and Pan American.

After the war, it returned to civil operation until air services moved to new land-based facilities at Kindley Field (now Bermuda International Airport).

Subsequently, Darrell's Island was briefly used for film location work.
