Attached is the information for the fly in…..it gives the background….

The Station Commander has asked me to invite a limited number pilots to land in and put this airfield in their log books it is an exclusive one time only event to raise funds for Help for Hero’s Charity. Thorney Island is a disused Airfield at on an active Army Camp, North East of the Isle of Wight and on the boarders of West Sussex & Hampshire. This is to be the only ever fly in to take place on Thorny Island since its closure, and will not be repeated.

Slots are on a first come first served basis please register at this web site and confirm your attendance by leaving your donations. Sorry to be financially brutal, but the purpose is to raise funds. A limited number of Aircraft Enthusiast will be invited on to the base by road over the two days to see and register the Aircraft if this is of interested please call 07834752083.

On your visit you will be greeted personally by The Station Commander who will be delighted to talk to you about a modern Army and its operation on an informal basis. There will be light refreshments. You will be given the opportunity to see Thorney Island first hand, a privilege normally not extended to the public…..although as you would expect there are restrictions on access as necessary.

Extract from Help for Hero’s web site.
What is H4H all about? It’s about the blokes, our men and women. It’s about Derri, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It’s about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It is about Ben, its about Steven and Andy and Mark, its about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes."

History
A victim of the boundary changes of the 1970s,Thorney Island was in Hampshire originally but on current maps is shown in West Sussex. Construction of the airfield at Thorney Island started in 1935.The project took rather longer than planned and the airfield did not open until 3/2/38 ,as part of 16 Group, Coastal Command. The station transferred briefly to no.17(Training) Group in March 38 before reverting to Coastal Command on 1/11 38 .On 15/7/47 the station passed to Fighter Command(No.11 Group),and in May 1950 to No.21 Group ,Flying Training Commanding January 62 control passed to No 38 Group ,Transport Command ,who remained in command until 31/10/75 .When Transport Command departed, the only remaining occupants were the SAR Squadron who eventually left in January 1976.On 31/3/76 the airfield was officially closed. Plans for use by the Navy, and later, as a general aviation field for Portsmouth both fell through. For a couple of years Britten-Norman rented hangar space to store Islanders, but there was no further use of the airfield.In August 1982 the Royal Artillery took over and they continue to use the base today.
