Hall Caine Airport

Hall Caine Airport

Hall Caine Airport was the first airfield on the Isle of Man and was located near Ramsey. It was used in World War I by the Royal Air Force. From 1935 to 1937 it handled some domestic scheduled passenger flights to English and Scottish airports. After World War II it fell into disuse as there were three alternative airfields with hard runways on the Isle of Man (notably Ronaldsway). The airfield was used by the Gliding club in the 1990s but they relocated to Andreas airfield.
