Conington Airfield Flying Experiences
Conington Airfield, also known as Peterborough Business Airport, is a privately owned airfield, situated near the villages of Conington and Holme, and of course the city of Peterborough itself, just under half an hour from the city centre. Originally built as RAF Glatton in 1943 during WWII, the B-17 Flying Fortress bombers of the 457th Bomb Group and the 809th United States Army Corps of Engineers were both located here, until RAF Bomber Command mothballed the airfield shortly after the end of WWII in 1946.
Between then and into the 1970s and beyond, more portacabins appeared as private fliers came and went. In 1995, the current control tower and building was built, with the flying club renamed to Flying Club Conington in 2000, and it continues to offer both flight training and private passenger flights to this day.
Vintage Flying Experiences
Flying experiences at Covington airfield offer a nostalgic journey back in time, particularly with their vintage Auster warbird flights. These flights range from a thrilling 20-minute aerial excursion to an immersive hour-long adventure, promising an unforgettable experience reminiscent of the Battle of Britain era.
Each flight is piloted by an expert, ensuring both safety and an authentic historical perspective throughout the journey. The airfield's commitment to preserving aviation history allows enthusiasts to not just witness but also feel the essence of classic wartime aviation, making it a remarkable opportunity for both aviation buffs and history enthusiasts alike.

Terms and Conditions for Conington Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
