Headcorn during WWII
Grounded in British aviation history, Headcorn Aerodrome is the little airport that could.
Born out of necessity during WWI, it closed at the end of the war. A chance purchase by a veteran with a son who was a pilot gave life to the airport once more. It thrived when the air force made it a base for up 70 aircraft during WWII then… closed again. In the early 60′s, a woman pilot working in Canada and a love story gave birth to the airport once more.
Headcorn facilities
Today, this privately owned airport houses an Air Warfare Museum, a café, a restaurant, several flight schools, a very busy parachute club and several aviation businesses.
Prior permission is required to operate at this lovely airport in beautiful Kent. Not only do we have permission to land at this cradle of British aviation history, we are awaited with impatience. Come and discover Headcorn Aerodrome on March 10, 2012.
