Sywell Aerodrome

Set in the heart of Northamptonshire, Sywell Aerodrome boasts one of the best General Aviation Airfields in the United Kingdom.

Sywell offers a range of superb facilities for general aviation, as well as secure commercial units and a wonderful Art Deco style hotel and event venue.

Sywell Aerodrome dates back to 1928 and played a key role during the Second World War as an RAF flying training facility and an important centre for the repair of nearly 2,000 Wellington bombers during the war period. Sywell’s rich aviation history is still evident around the Aerodrome and displayed within the Sywell Aviation Museum which is located onsite and open to the general public.
