About the Airfield

We are based at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport located on the beautiful south Staffordshire and Shropshire boarder near the village of Bobbington just 5 miles south of Wolverhampton.


History

The airfield was originally opening in 1941 as RAF Bobbington, a Royal Air Force training base operating twin engine Blackburn Bothas, Airspeed Oxfords and Avro Ansons training Navigators Air Gunners and Bomb aimers from all over the then British Empire. Soon after opening the airfield name was changed to RAF Halfpenny Green after the little hamlet on northern edge of the airfield, the name that remains to this day. The Airfield closed in 1946 after the end of the second world war but reopened in the 1950's once again as an RAF training base during the Korean War. As that conflict came to a close the airfield became a civilian airfield which it remains to today. Uniquely all the original buildings from the 1940's and the three hard runways remain is use making the airfield almost a living museum.
