Thruxton Aerodrome (ICAO: EGHO) is located in Thruxton, 4.5 NM (8.3 km; 5.2 mi) west of Andover, in Hampshire, England.
The airfield was opened in 1942 as RAF Thruxton. Postwar, it was reopened by the Wiltshire School of Flying in 1947,[2] and private and club flying operations continue to the present time.
Thruxton Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P544) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee, Western Air (Thruxton) Limited.[3]
Motorbike racing began on a track using the runways and perimeter roads in 1950. Thruxton Circuit, which follows the line of the perimeter road, has been used for motorbike and car racing since 1968.[4]
