Otherton Airfield Flying Experiences

Home to the Staffordshire Aero Club, Otherton Airfield is located near the small Staffordshire village of Pillaton. In close proximity to the M6 motorway, affording good links to Stafford, Cannock, Walsall and Wolverhampton, it was first opened as RAF Penkridge during World War II in 1942. It was primarily an elementary flying training school for many WWII pilots, who commenced their flying careers in Tiger Moths. It laid derelict for many years when it closed after the end of the war, but once the Staffordshire Aero Club moved in in the 1980s, it became their home, with them developing the airfield into what you see today.

Terms and Conditions for Otherton 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.
