==History==
The site was first used as a military establishment when the War Office acquired the site for a Wireless and Observers School in 1917 before changing to the school of Army Co-operation in 1918 on the site of the Winchester Racecourse. In 1918 an airfield was built for the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), but before it was completed the RFC was amalgamated with the Royal Naval Air Service to form the Royal Air Force.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RAF/RNAS Worthy Down, Hampshire )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Worthy Down )〕 Nonetheless, the RFC do seem to have operated there to some degree prior to amalgamation, as Lieutenant Harold Percy Dawson, RFC, was killed in an air accident stated to be at Worthy Down on the 9th March 1918. 〔http://www.rafmuseumstoryvault.org.uk/archive/?7000269264〕
