Work Starts on New Airport Near Exeter Service Flying School Being Laid Out on 500 Acres in Stephen Township Exeter Times -Advocate Four miles out of Exeter a new airport is now an assured fact, Resi- dent engineers have taken up their location here and land surveyors will soon be engaged in laying out the runways. From all reports the airport will take in about five ltuudred acres in Stephen Township, about one and a quarter utiles west and north of Centralia and about the, same dist- ance east and south of Crediton. The original survey took in about eleven hundred acres and from this a choice was made of the land most satisfactory. The new airport will be a service flying school. After the student pilots have received their eletnentary training we understand they will complete their training at this air- port where the latest machines used in modern warfare will be avialable. It will follow closely the pattern of the airport recently completed at Aylmer. While there is little official information we are led to believe that the new airport will be one in connection with the British Com- monwealth Air Training Plan and will be linked up with the air navi- gation school at Port Albert and the Radio School at Clinton. The owners of the farms which are included in the Plan were not com- pletely taken by surprise, although they had received no official inform- ation until the surveyors Landed on their property ready to commence work. It is proposed to erect the main buildings on the farm occupied by Mr, Lloyd Ilodgson, third concession of Stephen Townsltlp and the run- ways will extend back to the fourth concession. including the farms of Rd. and L. Davey, The field will take in the sideroad running east and west which will of necessity be clos- ed. It is known that the farms of Mrs. I. Hodgins and Mr. John Ed- wards figure in the plan and stow much more, time will tell. The work on the runways will commence in a short time and from 75,000 to 85,000 tons of crushed gravel will be required, all of which will hove to be shipped in from out- side points. 11 rumor is correct, there will be five hangar's for the housing of the a.ireraft. Already many- men have been look- ing for work and no doubt many will be needed when the work of building gets well under way, but so far we can learn nothing about the contract for the buildings, The work of build- ing the runways and taxi strips will be done with heavy machinery and the labor element in connection is not exceptionally large.
