Herefordshire Aero Club

About Herefordshire Aero Club

Herefordshire Aero Club is a long-established flying club and training provider based at Shobdon Airfield (EGBS) near Leominster, set in the rural Marches close to the England-Wales border. Shobdon is noted locally as Herefordshire's only licensed airfield and has been home to the club for decades. For learners, the club operates as a UK CAA Declared Training Organisation. It offers clear pathways into fixed-wing licences including PPL and LAPL, with additional options such as NPPL, plus night flying and instrument training (IR(R)) for pilots looking to expand their privileges. A key attraction for first-time students is the opportunity to start with a trial flight. The wider airfield environment is another positive, described as an active site with a variety of aviation activity.
