Geocache Description:


London Biggin Hill Airport

A designated UK Port of Entry, no runway slots, and an exclusive 6-minute helicopter transfer service to and from the heart of London. Biggin Hill Airport is expanding to become one of Londons' imports.

London Biggin Hill Airport is an operational general aviation airport at Biggin Hill in the London Borough Of Bromley, located 12 NM (22 km; 14 mi) south-southeast of Central London. The airport was formerly a Royal Air Force station RAF Biggin Hill, and a small enclave on the airport still retains that designation.

Biggin Hill is best known for its role during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War when it served as one of the principal fighter bases protecting London and South East England from attack by German Luftwaffe bombers. Over the course of the war, fighters based at Biggin Hill claimed 1,400 enemy aircraft, at the cost of the lives of 453 Biggin Hill based aircrew.

The airport has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P804) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Regional Airports Limited). It specialises in general aviation, handling a spectrum of traffic from private aviation to large business jets. It currently has no scheduled airline service,[5][6] as flights using the airport are not permitted to carry fare-paying passengers.

London Biggin Hill Airport is pressing ahead with long-planned developments with a new four-star hotel, as well as a new terminal building and an air traffic control tower, and a new 250,000-sq-ft service center.
