Sibson Aerodrome, located in Cambridgeshire, England, was established in 1930 as the Peterborough and District Aero Club. Initially a small flying club, it quickly gained attention for its strategic location and suitable airfield.
During World War II, Sibson Aerodrome played a crucial role as a training base for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It became home to several RAF squadrons, serving as a training ground for pilots and operational exercises. Following the war, Sibson Aerodrome transitioned to civilian ownership and refocused on recreational flying. It became a popular destination for private pilots and flying clubs, offering facilities for flight training, leisure flying, and aircraft maintenance.
Over the years, Sibson Aerodrome expanded its infrastructure to meet the needs of the aviation industry. Modern hangars and improved runway lighting were introduced to the aerodrome. Additionally, it became renowned for hosting aviation events and airshows, attracting a significant number of spectators.
Today, Sibson Aerodrome continues to thrive as a centre for general aviation and is home to the UK Parachuting Skydiving Centre and the Peterborough Flying School.
