Welcome to Seething Airfield

Seething Airfield is a privately owned airfield in Norfolk situated south east of Norwich and just a few miles from the east coast. The airfield is run on a voluntary basis and is able to offer low cost flying and pilot training to its membership.

Why fly from Seething?

Seething Airfield is different to many flying clubs which are based on a commercial organisation. As a private members club we run the airfield ourselves. There are no landing fees (visitors are invited to make a donation) and members help maintain the fabric of the airfield, run the club house bar and kitchen and the pilot training is carried out by qualified volunteer instructors.

Seething Airfield membership is open to both pilots who want a friendly, affordable base from which to fly and to those who are looking to discover the thrills of flying for the first time. Club aircraft are available at low hourly rates to PPLs and student pilots alike.

Half a Century of Flying

Nearly fifty years ago a group of enthusiastic aviators set up a flying club on the former USAAF airbase at Seething. Originally leased, the Waveney Flying Group went on to purchase the land in 1963.

Its close proximity to Great Yarmouth meant the airfield saw quite a bit of celebrity use. Since the millennium the club house and hangers have been developed and the airfield become a friendly centre for low cost aviation.
