The association between Halton and the Armed Forces began in Autumn 1912, when large scale manouevres were held to exercise the defence of London against attack. Defending forces from Aldershot were offered help and hospitality from Alfred Rothschild, the owner of Halton House; these forces had three aircraft and an airship as part of their resources. This was the first link between aviation and the Halton estate - a link which has continued unbroken to this day.
