First photo on AC from Barton...and isn't it the most beautiful Auster you have ever seen ?!
Barton Aerodrome officially opened on 29th January 1930 with completion of the Control Tower (the first in the UK) and a large Hangar, which was designed to house the most advanced passenger aircraft of the day, the Imperial Airways Argosy. Barton became the first municipal airfield in the UK to be licensed by the Air Ministry.
