The Airfield
Halifax and Stirling heavy bombers were regular visitors to RAF Halfpenny Green during the 1940’s alongside many other types complimenting the resident Airspeed Oxford and Avro Anson training aircraft.

The Airfield
AIRSPACE FTS is based at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport, located on the beautiful South Staffordshire and Shropshire border near the village of Bobbington, just 5 miles south of Wolverhampton.
The Airfield originally opened in 1941 as RAF Bobbington, a Royal Air Force training base operating a various range of aircraft from twin-engine Blackburn Bothas, Airspeed Oxfords, and Avro Ansons, to training navigators, air gunners, and bomb aimers from all over the then British Empire. Soon after opening, the Airfield’s name was changed to RAF Halfpenny Green after the nearby hamlet on the northern edge of the Airfield – a name that still remains to this day. The Airfield closed in 1946 after the end of the Second World War but reopened in the 1950s as an RAF training base during the Korean War. Following the end of that conflict , the Halfpenny Green Airport became a civilian Airfield, which it remains today. Uniquely, all the original buildings from the 1940s and the three hard runways remain in use, making the Airfield almost a living museum – you may even see some historic Aircraft in operation when you visit.
A significant infrastructure upgrade was made at the start of 2025, with all three runways and taxiways completely resurfaced, making Halfpenny Green Airport the perfect for flight training operations.
