Marden Airfield

Facilities were limited to a Bessonneau hangar located in the south east corner of the airfield.

In 1918, pilots of 141 Squadron, Royal Air Force, who were taking part in ground-to-air radio telephony exercises were in the habit of making "precautionary" landings at RAF Marden.

After repairs had been made, Eaton departed for RAF Kenley, but his engine failed near Godstone, Surrey where the aircraft crash-landed and was written off.

The western part of the airfield was separated from the main landing ground by a ditch, which was bridged over a 100 ft (30 m) length to allow access for aircraft.

The airfield was identified by a circle of whitewashed stones 60 ft (18 m) diameter with the word MARDEN spelled out in the centre.

[8] One Wednesday in September 1927, an Air Union aircraft on a flight from Paris to Croydon landed at Marden due to engine trouble.

[6] In August 1934, a de Havilland Leopard Moth on a flight from Heston to St Inglevert, France made a landing at Marden as a child passenger was suffering from airsickness.

Roger Fiennes disappeared over the English Channel on 19 April 1998 while flying from Dieppe to Headcorn Aerodrome.

Neither Fiennes nor the wreckage of his Tiger Moth G-BALX were ever found, following his disappearance all flying at Marden Airfield ceased.
