Shobdon Aerodrome Flying Experiences
Beginning as a British Army Camp, Shobdon played a crucial role as a reception point for casualties received from Southampton during World War II, particularly after the Battle of Dunkirk. It served as a vital link in distributing these casualties to local hospitals. In 1943, RAF No.1 Glider Training School relocated from RAF Thame to Shobdon, significantly boosting the training of glider pilots in preparation for pivotal campaigns such as Normandy and Arnhem. However, the school closed its doors in 1953. Presently, the site holds a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P779), permitting flights for the public and offering Helicopter Flying Lessons led by Herefordshire Aero Club Limited. Moreover, the location is frequently utilised by air taxi services to Europe, further cementing its significance in the realm of aviation.

Terms and Conditions for Shobdon Aerodrome
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.
