About

Flying training began here in 1940, when RAF pilots learned to fly Hurricanes and Spitfires in the skies above Goodwood. Building on the achievements of these young men, our Aerodrome remains a centre of excellence for flying and engineering, offering exceptional tuition and flying experiences.

The

Aerodrome

Formerly known as RAF Westhampnett, the airfield has been located here since the Second World War, when it served as a satellite airfield to nearby RAF Tangmere. Its West Sussex location makes it the south coast’s focal point for flying excellence and gives pilots and their passengers a bird’s-eye view over the Solent and the Isle of Wight.

Goodwood’s airfield was created on estate land which was donated by Freddie March, the 9th Duke of Richmond, a renowned amateur racer and aircraft engineer, to assist the war effort. Known as RAF Westhampnett, it was active from July 1940 to May 1946 as a Battle of Britain station, and home to 43, 129, 145, 602 and 616 Squadrons, operating Hawker Hurricanes, P-51 Mustangs, and Supermarine Spitfires.
