Getting to the Airfield - Show me a map
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.

By Bus: From the Broadmarsh Centre Bus Station in Nottingham, Barton's Buses Number 22 or 22b run to Langar village; 22b passes the Airfield after the village, so ask the driver to drop you off. It is a 1 mile walk otherwise.

By Train: Mainline to Nottingham or Grantham. Then taxi to the Airfield (about £18), or, from Nottingham, buses as above. The Broadmarsh Centre Bus Station is about 5 minutes walk from Nottingham Train Station.
