The military history of the site dates back to 1913, when a large part of Orfordness spit was taken over by the British War Department. Swampland was drained to form airfields for the Central Flying SchoolÆs Experimental Flying Section; and so began an intense seventy year period of military activity. Experiments during the first World War included those on parachutes, aerial photography, bomb and machine gun sights, the evaluation of aircraft and the development of camouflage. All this is documented by Suffolk engineer/historian Gordon Kinsey.
