High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! RAF Christchurch (also known as Christchurch Advanced Landing Ground (ALG)) was a World War II airfield located southeast of the A337/B3059 intersection in Somerford, Christchurch, Dorset, England. It was a civil airfield with origins in the 1920s, then was used during World War II by the Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Force Ninth Air Force. Flying at Christchurch had its beginnings in July 1926 on the area known as "Burrysfield" which was used for pleasure flights. In May 1928, the Hampshire Aero Club operated from the area. The next step was when Francis C Fisher leased some open fields where he operated a flying facility in the summers, until his lease ran out in 1932. In 1933 the Rambler Air Station was established and airline services commenced on 14 May 1934 with Western Airways operating a de Havilland Dragon Rapide and the airfield was known as Christchurch Airport. In February 1935 the airfield became known as Bournemouth Airport.
