The atmosphere at Compton Abbas is

congregate to do what they enjoy most -
fly.
You will find the club staff attentive and well
informed, and doing their utmost to accommodate
the requests and schedules of their clients, old
and new. As you would expect the weekend is the
busy time with members making the most of their
leisure time, the aircraft and the weather.
Whether you are visiting with family, friends or
on your own, you will receive a very warm welcome,
and you will thoroughly enjoy your day out. Pilots
have full use of the purpose-built flight planning
and briefing rooms with all that's required to
prepare well for lessons and flights. We have a
well stocked pilot shop and the airfield is
fortunate to have an excellent restaurant and
fully licensed bar, both available during the day.
Few places could equal the home cooked fare and
spectacular views from one of England's highest
and most picturesque aerodromes.
Old Sarum
Airfield is open 7 days a week, serving
delicious homemade food from our restaurant. A
trial lesson over the Wiltshire countryside
makes an unforgettable present that the whole
family can enjoy, and if you decide to learn to
fly later on, then this trip will count towards
a full pilot's licence.
In a two or four
seat light aircraft you will be shown the basics
of how to fly and you can actually take the
controls yourself if you wish. There are a
variety of aircraft, including microlights, to
choose from. It's a fantastic experience you'll
never forget! Full wheelchair access and
toilets.
