Du Plaisir à la Toque - About. London Luton Airport. Hatfield Aerodrome. Hatfield Aerodrome, formerly (IATA: HTF, ICAO: EGTH), was an airfield and aircraft factory located in the town of Hatfield, Hertfordshire from 1930 until its closure and redevelopment in the 1990s. Early history[edit] Geoffrey de Havilland, pioneering aircraft designer and founder of the de Havilland Aircraft Company purchased some farmland close to Hatfield as his existing site at Stag Lane, Edgware was being encroached upon by expanding housing developments in the London suburbs.
Flying commenced in 1930, but the clubhouse buildings and adjacent recreational facilities, fuel pumps and sheds were not completed until 1933. The ICAO code, EGTH, has subsequently been reallocated to Old Warden Aerodrome in Bedfordshire. 1930s expansion[edit] In 1934 significant works were undertaken at the site and a large factory and imposing Art Deco administration buildings were constructed together with a flying school building which also housed flying control.
