Charles Prince Airport (ICAO: FVCP), formerly named Mount Hampden and renamed after former airport manager Charles Prince[3] (who was a Royal Air Force officer during World War II), is approximately 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) northwest of Harare, Zimbabwe.
During World War II it served as a Rhodesian Air Training Group location, training pilots for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. In 1973 the airport was converted to civilian use.
The Harare-Charles Prince non-directional beacon (Ident: CP) is located on the field.[4][5]
