Located in the heart of Cornwall, just off the A30 dual carriageway, Bodmin Airfield is home of the Cornwall Flying Club.
Bodmin Airfield was the development of a dream by local business man, Mike Robertson, founder of Trago Mills, to make aviation available to everyone. In pursuit of this dream, local engineers, The Dingle Brothers were commissioned to construct the airfield on what was once Treswithick Farm. In 1972, the airfield was bought by the Cornwall Flying Club, which, in 1978, became a limited company, Cornwall Flying Club Ltd. In keeping with the original ideals and dreams of its creator, Cornwall Flying Club operates as a non-profit organisation.
It was here that Trago Mills designed and built the Trago Mills SAH-1 in the early 1980s. The SAH-1 derived its name from its designer, Sydney A. Holloway.
The airfield is also home to Cornwall Aviation Services, an aircraft maintenance business.
