Lancashire Aero Club was established in 1922, is the oldest active flying club in the UK and possibly the world. It was based at Barton Aerodrome from 1947 until early 2007 but has now left for another venue, although we are actively seeking an airfield of our own.

Days of opening

Use of the airstrip is at pilots’ own risk. Pilots must be familiar and comfortable with short strip operations. The strip is strictly PPR on the day by telephone to 0798 5441676. Pilots who land without prior permission may be charged a landing fee.

Please note that the strip is open only when a Duty Officer is present.
