Fortune Way, Kings Hill
Kings Hill was developed from 1969 on the site of the former RAF West Malling. More detail about Kings Hill can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Hill
RAF West Malling had a long and distinguished history from the First World War, through the air shows of the 1930s and the Second World War when it was a front line airfield against the Luftwaffe. After the War, West Malling was in use throughout the 1950s and early 1960s as Britain's premier night fighter station before closure as an operational air station in 1969. A fuller history of West Malling Airfield can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_West_Malling

Waitrose, King's Hill
As seen from Tower View.
This new superstore only opened in Christmas 2011.
Funnily, it's right beside the other supermarket (Asda) in the exclusive village.

King's Hill Old Air Traffic Control Building
When I took Image over 16 years ago, the (then) derelict air traffic control building looked a bit incongruous in the middle of a building site. Building in this part is long completed and the ATC building, which is a listed structure, has been repurposed, extended and is now a Costa Coffee, forming a central attraction in the community shopping area.

Airfield Traffic Control Building
During the Second World War, this square contained an air field. Since then, the area has been redeveloped and the air base now only remains in the name of surrounding buildings built since closure (The Spitfire, Pilot's Bistro). Geographically, this is one palpable reminder of the area's previous use - an air traffic control building, in the middle of a new housing estate. A listed building, it is believed that this building is about to be converted into a restaurant.
