Welcome to Long Marston
Set in the rolling hills and the beautiful countryside known as the Cotswolds, Long
Marston Airfield is situated 6 miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon bordering the
idyllic village of Long Marston.
During the war years the airfield became the home to hundreds of Royal Air Force
servicemen in 1941 who operated the RAF’s Group of Ferry Commands. The RAF also
provided training flights and missions to Gibraltar as well as the Middle East before
the mighty Wellington Bombers in 1942 started pounding the runways. After the war
the airfield and its infrastructure was later returned to the Hodges Family in 1952
where it’s ownership still remains to this day.
Nowadays, Long Marston Airfield is better known for its wide range of Sports and
Leisure activities ranging from a quarter mile Drag Strip, Model Aircraft Flying,
Microlight and Driver Training. Read more...
