2ndWW Airfield. As recorded by the Defence of Britain archive " Location: The area was used from the early days of flying and was opened as a civilian aerodrome in September 1931. It was originally called Splott, but had become Cardiff Municipal Airport by 1936. On the outbreak of war, Pengam Moor was requisitioned by the Air Ministry and renamed RAF Cardiff to be the short-lived home for the civilian aircraft pooled to become the National Air Communication Unit." |
