Our Story
A long history
Based on a beautiful grass field with 2 runways Netherthorpe has been the home of the Sheffield aero club for many years.
Originally used in the 1930’s it was taken over by the RAF during WW2 to be RAF Netherthorpe, and Lysander aircraft based here.
Signs of the wartime heritage are still visible with concreate pill box’s to be found in the adjacent fields.
The RAF handed back the airfield in 1951 and civilian flying again took off.
Since then it has provided a home for many different aircraft and along with the flying school has been responsible for training many future pilots.

Visitors & new members are always welcome.
We aim to provide a club which is open to all people and their family and friends to visit offering a safe and enjoyable location where the topic is nearly always aviation.
If you are an enthusiast, or a newly qualified pilot or even a pilot who has flown around the world then Netherthorpe is the ideal home.
We have members who have flown to Australia – who compete in competitive air racing and ones who regularly perform aerobatics.
Over the years many members have even built and flown there own aircraft.
So weather your a new qualified pilot or one who just wishes to extend your experience this is the place to be.
Through out the history of Sheffield Aero Club we have had many different types of aircraft based here.
Including many home built from from just a set of plans and others put together from kits.
Several members have aircraft shares operated by syndicates as an ideal way to share the experience with fellow aviators and reduce the cost of ownership.
The club is run by an elected volunteer committee to benefit all.
We welcome visitors, your friends and families can come and enjoy not only the bar and café but the skies with one of our instructors.
We look forward to meeting you!
Kindest Regards
