A visit to Halfpenny Green Airport, also known as Bobbington Airport, Wolverhampton Business Airport and Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport. A look around, a bit of history, some planes and helicopters and interesting bits and pieces.
(Note that the propeller speeds may look a bit slow due to the strobe effect from the camera shutter!)

As you’re moving further afield, perhaps you could look at Gatacre Hall? I lived there, in a barn conversion, for 10 years - 1997\2007. (The first barn to be sold by the developer, who I believe bought the 100 acre site from the Gatacre family in the 1980’s) Apparently there’s a story behind the hall being abandoned late 30’s with the family moving to Canada, never to return. The saying was that every house in Claverley had a “repurposed” piece of furniture from the hall.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think the furthest afield so far was Kilpeck, Herefordshire! I’ll look into Gatacre. Cheers.

Like Charter hall near where I live the nickname for the place was slaughter hall because of all of the accents on substandard aircraft

Thank you for watching and commenting. It is greatly appreciated. I watched and very much enjoyed your video on Charter Hall. Unfortunately there were many accidents and deaths at HG and on the training flights away from the airfield, even after changing to Avro Ansons. There was also a civilian worker killed when he walked into a running propeller during the war.
