Blackbushe

Blackbushe comprises an airfield, much reduced in size since its heyday, a British Car Auctions site, a kart track owned by Camberley Kart Club, and a small business park. Sunday markets are held on the car auction site.

Blackbushe is situated alongside the A30 between Camberley and Hook. The nearest towns are Yateley and Fleet.

Unless looking at aerial views or maps, it is hard today to visualise that this was once a significant airport for scheduled flights for London. It is one of several airfields eclipsed since 1958 by the growth of London Heathrow Airport. Based aircraft include several corporate helicopters and a dealership for Beechcraft is established here.
