The airfield is located close to the picturesque village of Weston on the Green and is believed to be one of the largest grass airfields in the country.

We are within easy reach of the M40, being about 2 miles from Junction 9 (the Oxford/Bicester junction).

The area provides good soaring conditions and the unrestricted airspace up to 8,500 feet provides good opportunities for cross country flights.

** Eco-Town Threat **

The goverment have included the Weston-Otmoor "eco-town" proposal on their short list of fifteen. If approved, this new town would swallow up 2,046 acres of Oxfordshire countryside and replace it with up to 15,000 new properties. Weston on the Green airfield, a grass airfield in continuous use since July 1918 would also disappear.
