SHOREHAM

On July 4, 1911, Shoreham became the dispatching point for the first air freight transportation in the world when Horatio Barber piloted his Valkyrie monoplane to deliver the consignment of Osram lamps to the neighbouring Hove... Brighton City Airport is located in Shoreham-by-Sea, 5 miles to the east of Worthing or 7 miles to the west of Brighton, on the south coast of England. It is easy to get to the airport by A27 road, and there is also a central railway station 1.5 miles from the Terminal building. Besides, buses and taxi services are available too... Shoreham became the place where aircraft components were manufactured, and the airport itself ceased to function for some time.
