Ridgewell is our other site that we operate from. The main grass runway (05/23) is 2950ft long and enables both winching and aerotowing with our Piper Pawnee Tug Plane. We also have a new grass runway (09/27) which is 2300ft (not in picture) now enabling cross-wind operation.

 

Ridgewell is mainly in operation from April - October when the grass is dry enough for use.

Ridgewell Airfield was originally the home of RAF 90 Squadron flying Stirling bombers during the Second World War. The airfield was handed over to 381st Bomb Group (USAF) in 1943 who flew B17s (Flying Fortresses) until the close of hostilities in 1945. more info >>>
