of the Cotswolds. Kemble is the former home of the Red Arrows
and is a typically impressive former military airfield. Hunters,
Gnats and Jet Provost fast jets are still flown regularly
from Kemble. For the latest news and more information about

How to find Kemble Airport and fly2help
Please note:
Restrictions were placed on access to Kemble Airport during
2007. Access is now ONLY through the North Gate. You can no
longer gain access via South Gate Main Entrance.

Do not exit at M4 junction 15 as it is easy to get lost and
is no faster this way.
Please take the M4 to junction 17, and then follow the A429
north towards Cirencester. After Malmesbury and Crudwell,
you will see Kemble Airport on the left hand side, however,
you will not be able to gain access from this road. Continue
on A429 towards Cirencester, past Kemble Airport, and you
will come to Kemble village. Just before the pedestrian crossing
traffic lights, turn left. Follow under the bridge to the
end of the road. At the T-junction turn left onto the Tetbury
road - A433. After about 3/4 mile, you will approach a right
hand bend with a small country road turning off to the left.
