A historic aviation hub on a former RAF site in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire - still busy with training, visiting GA, a café and a museum dedicated to its wartime story.
Our story
From RAF station
From RAF station
to living airfield
Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield sits 3.9 miles east of Stratford-upon-Avon. Established on the former RAF site, it remains a bustling centre for general aviation with a friendly atmosphere and a deep dedication to the flying community.
The Wartime Museum preserves personal stories and artefacts from the period when the airfield trained RAF aircrew - including a restored battlefield HQ that visitors often describe as unique in the country.
