I'm afraid i don't know any specifics but have you ried looking under the town on Genuki UK? If it's Hampshire then Harfordbridge is all one word (I know because an ancestor was born there)

Christine, Hartford Bridge Airport was renamed Blackbushe and was opened in 1942. The only hospital I can think of would be the Cambridge Military Hospital in Aldershot. Crista

Hi Christine, Blackbushe Airport is not far off the M3 near Camberley/Farnborough. Its main claim to fame these days is that it is the venue for vehicle auctions. The place to go for an old Saracen Armoured car or a superannuated Police car. Jim

RAF Ely in Cambs used to be one of the main RAF Hospitals. Don't know if that's any use to you. Terry
