Eastchurch Aviation Museum illustrates the birthplace of
British Aviation, the first aviation factory (1909, Short
Brothers producing Wright Flyers in volume). The birth of
the Naval Flying School and the subsequent forming of the
RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service).
The site has the
record of continuous service from 1908 (Charles Rolls
teaching himself to fly in an engineless Flyer glider)
through to closing as an RAF Station in 1947.
