This is a short multi at Shoreham Airport.

The above coordinates are not for the cache.

In 1930 the municipal authorities of Brighton, Hove and Worthing formed a joint committee to establish Shoreham as the municipal airport for three towns. Construction on the Terminal Building began in November 1934. During 1935 the Croydon based company Olley Air Services Ltd., was appointed to manage the aerodrome and a service, Croydon-Shoreham-Deauville was started on the l3th July. On the 13th June 1936 this exquisite art-deco Terminal Building was officially opened by the Mayors of Brighton, Hove and Worthing. The building remains today very much in its original shape and as always, is still very much open to the public. The Terminal Building is now a Grade II listed building and is still in every day use by business, training and pleasure fliers alike including many visitors from Europe. Many of the fixtures are original including the Whispering Gallery on the first floor and the main window design above the main entrance.

Cache Logs

November 7 by lost! (1302 found) I always enjoy coming to Shoreham Airport. Many years back I visited with some friends from Uni who on the spur of the moment decided to take a trial flying lesson and I got a free ride to Newhaven and back . I found the answers to the clues last weekend while out with the boys. I had a quick look for the final then but the boys wanted to get home so I had to return today. This took me a bit of finding but it turned out to be at the first place I looked - I must get my eyes checked! TFTC T. Hector's Dolphin Geocoin L. Dr. Evil's Wine Time Geocoin [view this log]

October 17 by Flatcoat Walker (3152 found) I did go to the Airshow a few years back, but have never been around this side of the airport before. I like a bit of walking, so parked by Old Shoreham Church and walked to this and 2 other new caches. Clues and cache quickly found. Many thanks. Left Hector's Dolphin Geocoin that wants to go to coastal caches. Took nothing. [view this log]

October 14 by firefly38 (810 found) On my way to the airport to meet some ex work mates and had a few minutes spare to do a few caches. Did the first 2 parts but no time to chase the cache so will be back soon [view this log]

October 3 by BHA LOYAL (4500 found) I love walking around Shoreham airport with all those planes in action. A few weeks back when the air show was on, we watched all the action from the fields in North Lancing as they took off and flew over us! A decent multi with a great final cache location, well done with this one mate. Multis aren't dead yet TFTC [view this log]

September 27 by TheAdamss (3837 found) Found on route to Hove. A good little multi. Took me a little while to find the cache which got me worried that I had calculated incorrectly. I now have all smiley faces again except for 'Wild Geese' Mystery which I still eludes me - All help accepted TFTC [view this log]
