    It was Ginge, over to you.

    Where am I?
    At least 3 Triple Crown winners raced on the course, one at its last ever meeting. as did Kings and at least one Prime Minister. Spitfires were built here.

    Will give you another clue if needed.

    No Rob not Faversham.

    Another clue:
    Two people who’s Surnames are very similar trained at this place a century apart. One began training here (and still trains elsewhere today) the other coming from one of racings greatest jockey dynasties.

    Gatwick Racecourse?

    Closed in 1940 so may fit with Spitfires

    Decided not a good suggestion so ignore

    Many racecourses were used as airfields in the wars Freeradical. But I believe this was the only racecourse where Spitfires were actually built.

    No not Coventry Drone. There’s no trick it is the aeroplane, which was also tested here. Although the place has never been known as an "airport".

    Clues are done so that it’s difficult (but not impossible) to look them up on the internet.

    I’ll give another clue at around 22:00.
