Invitation to Fly into Thorney Island

June 6th & 7th 2009



The Station Commander has asked me to invite a limited number pilots to an exclusive event where the Airfield at this Armey Camp is open for one weekend per year to Civilians in order to raise funds for Help for Hero’s Charity. Thorney Island is a disused Airfield at on an active Army Camp, North East of the Isle of Wight and on the boarders of West Sussex & Hampshire.


Slots are on a first come first served basis please register at this web site and confirm your attendance by leaving your donations. Sorry to be financially brutal, but the purpose is to raise funds and for guidance £20.00 was the average donation last year.


On your visit you will be greeted Army personnel who will be delighted to talk to you about a modern Army and its operation on an informal basis. There will be light refreshments. You will be given the opportunity to see Thorney Island first hand, a privilege normally not extended to the public…..although as you would expect there are restrictions on access as necessary.



This year there is an opportunity to camp overnight and swim from the Islands exclusive Beach before Breakfast! Please confirm your intent to camp when you book your slot.

Please do register to secure your place, and call to obtain instruction and radio frequencies and airfield information.
