City of Portsmouth Docks and Airport : Official Handbook : 8th edition : Portsmouth Corporation Docks & Airport Committee : City of Portsmouth : 1961 : advert

            Although Portsmouth was a Royal Dockyard as a commercial port it was somewhat overshadowed by neighbouring Southampton. However the Corporation was keen to push the credentials of its municipally owned facilities and this was the eighty edition in 1961. It gives details of the facilities and companies serving the port and includes details of the city's small and shortlived airport.

This grass strip, on the northern tip of Portsea Island, was situated on a constrained site that meant in later years it was unable to be easily expanded. Relatively busy in the years before WW2, as well as mostly short haul flights it was home to a series of companies as can be seen on the plan included in the handbook. The airport formally closed on 31 December 1973.
