This view facing north-west shows, at left, the eastern extremity of the main runway. The perimeter track can also be seen. The airport on this site started life in 1936. It was a training base during the second world war. 'In 1993, Staverton was renamed Gloucestershire Airport to reflect its increasing prominence as the business aviation centre for the county. Today it is a thriving business and recreation airport handling around 90,000 movements each year. Its location, facilities and four runways provide the perfect site for aircraft from the Tiger Moth to the ATR42 and the PA-28 to the Dassault Falcon.' Source: gloucestershireairport.co.uk
