Halton Defenders

Halton Defenders Ref: Gic-M223

The British Army Military Exercises in September 1913 saw the first tactical deployment of aircraft, with the Brownland force headquarters sited in the grounds of Halton House. On Monday 22nd the airship Delta, observing for the Whiteland force, emerged from the mist, and a Bleriot, with underwing surfaces partly painted black for identification, was rapidly launched to intercept. Supported by a BE and a returning Farman, the intruder was successfully driven off. The temporary airfield was sited on what is now the main Parade Square, lying in the shelter of the steeply rising ground of Wendover Woods and the Chilterns.
