Sundridge AerodromeAround 1910 an aerodrome with a three-bay timber-framed corrugated-iron clad hangar was opened north of Chevening Road, {{coord|51.2820|N|0.1277|E|format=dms|display=inline}}, by Russian Prince Serge de Bolotoff, a sales representative for Albatros Flugzeugwerke, Berlin, who had gained experience of aircraft design at the Voisin works, Billancourt, France and at Brooklands in Surrey. He set up a small aircraft factory at Sundridge Aerodrome shortly before World War One in the three-bay hangar. A two-seat De Bolotoff SDEB 14 biplane was built there and registered to the de Bolotoff and Company in August 1919. Around 1927 the factory building became a bus depot, but during World War II it reverted to military use with the Royal Air Force, providing storage and salvage facilities for crash-damaged aircraft. The aerodrome closed in 1945 but the hangar survives today in commercial use; it is believed to be the oldest aircraft hangar in the country and was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1988.[5][6] Nearest settlements{{Geographic location|title = Nearest settlements |Northwest = Biggin Hill |North = Knockholt and Halstead |Northeast = Otford |West = Brasted |Centre = Sundridge |East = Riverhead |Southwest = Toys Hill and Crockham Hill |South = Ide Hill |Southeast = Sevenoaks Weald }} Notes1. ^{{cite web | last=Collins | first=Mark | authorlink= | coauthors= | title=Patron Saints List for the Roughwood Churches Album | work=Roughwood web site | publisher=Mark Collins | date= | url=http://www.roughwood.net/ChurchAlbum/ChurchSaints.htm#St_Mary | format= | doi= | accessdate=March 7, 2013}} 2. ^Margaret King, Ill Fares the Land; A Social History of the Village of Sundridge from 1719-1826 (Sundridge: Friends of St. Mary's Church, 2008), 71. 3. ^Margaret King, Ill Fares the Land; A Social History of the Village of Sundridge from 1719-1826 (Sundridge: Friends of St. Mary's Church, 2008), 71. 4. ^Margaret King, Ill Fares the Land; A Social History of the Village of Sundridge from 1719-1826 (Sundridge: Friends of St. Mary's Church, 2008), 57. 5. ^{{cite book|last=Woodhead|first=Lindy|title=Shopping, Seduction & Mr Selfridge|year=2008|publisher=Profile Books|isbn=978-1-86197-169-2|pages=147–8}} De Bolotoff married Rosalie Selfridge, daughter of London store owner Harry Selfridge, in 1918. 6. ^{{NHLE|num=1244242|desc=3 Aircraft Hangars to Former Sundridge Aerodrome at Coombe Bank Farm|date=27 April 1988|accessdate=10 June 2012}} External links{{Commons category|Sundridge, Kent}}
