Situated equi-distant between Guildford and Godalming, the airfield began life on 11 May 1942 when the First Canadian Army – mainly the 2nd Battalion Royal Canadian Engineers - began construction of the emergency airfield. After just 20 weeks the site was officially handed over to the Royal Canadian Air Force on 16 October 1942.
