This base , RFC Cherhill , later Yatesbury , was built in the 14-18 war mainly for forming up Squadrons for the front . The White Horse on the hill on the opposite side of the A4 , clearly visible from Cherhill , was incorporated in the badge of 28 Squadron RFC after the Squadron was formed and trained here prior to going to France

I am afraid you are wrong , the Domestic site for the old RAF Cherhill is behind the hangars seen on this view , the domestic site you highlight is the one for No 2 School of Trade Training , RAF Yatesbury .
