Eaglescott Airfield Flying Experiences

Nestled in the heart of the Devonshire countryside, Eaglescott Airfield is one of the more recent airfields on our books - comparatively so, anyway, to the ones that had their roots in pre-war times. Founded in 1983 by local flying enthusiast and aviator Barry Pearson, Eaglescott was quickly established as the new home of the North Devon Flying Club. Barry still has an active role in the running of the airfield to this day, and such is his passion for aviation that his late parents, who supported him in his enthusiasm, were buried under a plum tree in a garden area of the airfield after they passed away. A year after opening the premises, he established Devon Airsports Ltd, with his aim to make all sorts of flying and aviation available for others to enjoy.

Today, the airfield still operates as a non-profit organisation and community amateur sports club, offering the people of Devon the opportunity to enjoy and learn to fly on a vast selection of aircraft, but which provides a safe environment for them to do so - and being right out in the countryside makes this possible, with a 600 x 20 metre grass runway.

Most who train to fly here have subsequently become active club members and aviators. It is also the northerly operational base for the Devon Air Ambulance, who have their own hangar on a gifted lease of part of the airfield. And as you’ll discover, the range of aircraft that is on offer to learn to fly at Eaglescott is quite astounding.

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.
