About White Waltham
White Waltham is the oldest licensed airfield in the UK, dating back to the 1930s. It sits in Berkshire between Maidenhead and Twyford, close to the M4 corridor. The grass runway and traditional clubhouse give it the feel of classic British aviation.
The airfield is home to West London Aero Club and Airways Flying Club, with a strong training scene alongside a settled community of private owners. Common types include Cessna 172, Piper Warrior and Diamond DA40 — plus a smattering of touring aircraft.
