Welcome to the New West London Aero Club Website!
This new site is still a work in progress however we are hoping that we will be able to use it to better communicate some of the fanta
stic things that are happening at White Waltham including up to date information on events, special offers and important airspace information especially with regard to the Olympic Airspace Restrictions.
Any constructive comments will be welcome.
New Supercub
We have been fortunate to purchase an additional PA18-150 Supercub to join 
our Club fleet. G-OFER will be working alongside G-WLAC available for both private hire and tail wheel instruction.

What’s New ?
At a time when many flying schools are struggling the future is looking bright for the West London Aero Club and to deal with the extra work load we have had to take on several new instructors. Unfortunately Laura Van Hoorn won’t be coming back from her sabbatical, she is currently flying around South America in a Cessna C172, although how that can be better than instructing at Waltham remains a mystery… We have, however, been fortunate in securing the services of Esther Law to replace her. Esther is an experienced instructor coming to us from Denham. James Cooling has joined us full time from Wycombe and Al Greenway, Johnny Boruch and Tom Farrant have all joined us working on a part time basis. We’d like to wish them all a very warm welcome!
Airspace Restrictions
With the Olympics now rapidly approaching our thoughts are very much turning t
owards the Airspace Restrictions that are going to be in place during that time. The Club and especially our Airfield Manager, John Walker, have been heavily involved in discussions to try to ensure that the restrictions have as little impact as possible on our day to day operations. For our members we have a special GASCo evening on the 14th March during which the procedures that will need to be followed to comply with the restrictions will be explained.
One further piece of airspace news is that the new Benson Zone southern stub is now active so if you are flying North of Reading on your way to Compton it would be prudent to give Benson a call on 120.90mhz for a MATZ penetration.
Retro Festival at 2012 at Waltham
Once again this year we will be hosting the very popular Retro Festival celebrating the ’40′s, ’50′s, ’60′s and all things vintage. For more information please visit their website. This video will give you a flavour of things to come.
