Langar Airfield is 12 miles South East of Nottingham and 5 miles South of Bingham on the border of Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. The Airfield is between the villages of Langar and Harby. The Parachute School is located in the Control Tower building on the Airfield. As there is sometimes some confusion, please note that we are not Nottingham Airport (there is one, but it's six miles away at Tollerton).
