Overview

Aerodrome Slipstream is a thoughtfully designed airfield facility focused on accessibility, safety, and community. Nestled next to open farmland, the aerodrome combines a well-maintained grass runway with a compact apron, hangar space for light aircraft, and a cosy pilot lounge where members and visitors meet.

Safety & Community

Safety is central to everything Slipstream does. All flights operate under a formal safety management framework: pre-flight briefings, weather checks, and maintenance logs are standard. Beyond safety, Slipstream has built a tight-knit community of pilots, mechanics, and aviation lovers. Monthly safety talks, youth STEM workshops, and open days help demystify aviation and invite the next generation of pilots to learn and explore.

History & Philosophy

Founded by a handful of local pilots, Aerodrome Slipstream began as a volunteer-run strip and has since matured into a dependable local resource while maintaining its grassroots character. The philosophy is simple: keep flying approachable, responsible, and fun. Small-scale operations allow for personalised service and a slower, human-centred approach to aviation—far removed from crowded major airports.

Visit & Bookings

Visitors are welcome. Arrival procedures are straightforward: file your flight plan if required, check in at the pilot lounge, and park in the visitor apron. Pre-book discovery flights online or get in touch via email for bespoke group events. Slipstream offers gift vouchers for memorable flight experiences—perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or corporate team treats.
