The South Warwickshire Flying School at Wellesbourne Mountford is situated in the pleasant Shakespearean County of Warwickshire, just a twenty minute drive from Royal Leamington Spa and only ten minutes from Stratford-upon-Avon. Wellesbourne Mountford Aerodrome was brought into operation for the Royal Air Force in 1941 and remained a government owned aerodrome until 1964. It is licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority for flight training, with a cafeteria and modern flight briefing facilities within its Control Tower. The School is located on its own designated area at the northern end of the aerodrome and the Club-house has a comfortable lounge with cold drinks and a coffee bar.
