A short film about Nottingham City Airport, under threat of closure.

2024, and this great local facility and pilot training centre is under grave threat from developers who aim to build up to 4000 homes on this site. Here is a look at the airfield as it currently stands. We only have until 14th APRIL 2024 to object to the proposals, so if you watch this video before then and would like to record your objections, please click on the link below. Many thanks for your support.

I enjoyed your video and I wish you success. I recall losing my local Ipswich Airport many years ago, with twin RAF (USAF) bases closing down near the Town and later still the nearby RAF jet fighter base. It's quite a shock to suddenly lose all that great aviation and opportunities for people to learn about aviation and even become a part of the aviation industry. I've now lived way longer in Norfolk than my childhood days in Suffolk, and in Norwich we're lucky to have a functional airport with around a dozen choppers serving the North Sea Gas industry, and regular fixed wing jets doing the same . . plus a holiday flight most days. But Norwich Airport has also been impacted by development, with housing and industrial estates crowding up against the perimeter fence, and a substantial amount of airfield land lost to a noisy dual-carriageway link that now runs between the aviation museum and the airport. The lovely green and country expanse shown in your video reminds me of the old summer days at the aviation museum, with birdsong and bigs skies only occasionally broken by air traffic arriving and departing. Now it's just the constant drone of the road, although the museum is most definitely still worth a visit. Great to see a Robinson, funnily enough I videod one myself at the airport today. It saddens me to think of another airfield disappearing, particularly one with links to the brave Poles who flew for Britain. I hope 'they' find another way, and leave the airport alone.
