Old Buckenham Airfield was built by Taylor Woodrow Ltd. in 1942. It was the home of the 453rd Bomber Group until May 1945. We are proud to still use their logo today.
The airfield went through a full transformation during the late 1990s, which saw the old runway re-surfaced creating a new 800m tarmac runway, new hangars and a well appointed Club House. The first student to fly solo did so in January 1998.
There has been a registered flying training organisation here since 1998 and the current management took over Old Buckenham Aero Club in 2006.
Restaurant A popular attraction to Old Buckenham visitors − by air or road is the welcoming restaurant − open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sundays. The food is good, the prices reasonable, the service cheerful and the clean & bright seating area gives a good view of the flying. In warm weather, enjoy the extensive terrace area for even better views of flying & parachuting. Our typical menu offers all−day breakfasts, burgers with especially nice chips, bacon sandwiches, salads, vegetarian options, coffee, tea & cold drinks − and as a bonus for those not flying, we are licensed. Come and enjoy the hospitality! |
