Lasham Airfield

Lasham Airfield is an aerodrome 3.6 miles north-west of Alton in Hampshire, England, in the village of Lasham.

The airfield was built on farming land in 1942 as a Royal Air Force Station during the Second World War. The RAF ceased operations in 1948, but an aircraft company, General Aircraft Ltd, continued to fly from the airfield. From 1951, the main activity at Lasham airfield became recreational gliding.

The airfield is now the home of the largest British gliding club, also one of the world's largest, Lasham Gliding Society Ltd, which bought the land in 1999 from the Ministry of Defence. The airfield is also the location of 2Excel Engineering Ltd., a company that maintains jet aircraft for various airlines.
