[ edit ]
Land situated between Bells Forstal and Throwley Forstal, including Dodds Willows and the Bells Forstal farmhouse was acquired by the Royal Flying Corps in 1916 for use as a landing ground for home defence squadrons defending London and the Thames Estuary and Kent.[1] 50 Squadron RFC detached aircraft to Throwley. In July 1917 newly formed 112 Squadron was based with a variety of biplane fighters including the Sopwith Pup , Sopwith Camel and Sopwith Snipe . In February 1918 143 Squadron was formed at Throwley flying the Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 but it moved soon after to nearby RAF Detling .
188 Squadron was formed at Throwley on 20 December 1917 as a training unit with the Avro 504 K, in June 1918 the squadron provided training for the units flying the Sopwith Camel . In March 1919 188 Squadron RAF was disbanded[5]
