Hampshire, has been the home of British Army flying since the RAF handed it over on 1 October 1958. It is the headquarters of the Army Air Corps, the seat of the Army Aviation Centre and its training regiments, the base of the AH-64E Apache training fleet, and the site of the Army Flying Museum, whose collection covers everything from the Royal Engineers&rsquo; balloons to the Apache.<\/p>\n<p>The airfield opened in the spring of 1940 as a grass field with a concrete perimeter track, and within months it was a Battle of Britain sector station: No. 609 Squadron&rsquo;s Spitfires and No. 238 Squadron&rsquo;s Hurricanes flew from here, and in August 1940 German bombers hit its hangars. Through the winter Blitz, No. 604 Squadron&rsquo;s radar Beaufighters, with John Cunningham among their pilots, made it one of the first night-fighter bases. The Americans used it before D-Day, the Royal Navy briefly in 1945, and after the war the RAF turned it into the school for the Army&rsquo;s air observation post pilots.<\/p>\n<p>That school became the root of the present corps, formed on 1 September 1957. The station was renamed the Army Aviation Centre on 1 August 2009. Much of basic helicopter training has since moved to RAF Shawbury, but Middle Wallop kept the Apache conversion course, and in 2024 it gained 5 Regiment from Northern Ireland. On 13 May 2024 King Charles III handed the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to the Prince of Wales here, beside the control tower.<\/p>\n<p>Wikipedia gives the elevation as 90.5 m and two grass runways, 08\/26 of 1,096 m and 17\/35 of 1,181 m; these could not be checked against the UK Military AIP for this dataset, so no runway rows are published and the coordinates and elevation are Wikipedia&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Middle Wallop Flying Station from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Middle Wallop Flying Station seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>No runway dimensions are recorded for this airfield.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Middle Wallop Flying Station seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-1.62321,51.13339,-1.51679,51.16439\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-1.62002,51.12797,-1.51998,51.16981\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=-1.59470,51.13339,-1.54530,51.16439\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"pqrow\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>Let me just say what a great joy it is to be with you, even briefly, on this occasion but also it is tinged with great sadness after 32 years<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>King Charles III<\/b><span>Outgoing Colonel-in-Chief, Army Air Corps<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royal.uk\/news-and-activity\/2024-05-13\/the-king-hands-over-the-role-of-colonel-in-chief-of-the-army-air-corps\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Royal Family (royal.uk), 13 May 2024<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>These impressive Apache helicopters will help the Army sustain its battle-winning capabilities in future operations.<\/blockquote><figcaption><b>Jeremy Quin<\/b><span>Minister for Defence Procurement<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/british-army-flying-new-elite-attack-helicopters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOV.UK, 21 January 2022<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"glance\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">At a glance<\/div>\n<h2>Middle Wallop Flying Station in numbers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"specgrid three\">\n<div class=\"spectable\">\n<h4>Location &amp;

Wikipedia dates the RAF opening to April 1940, first as a flying training school. By the summer it was a sector station, first in No. 11 Group and from late August 1940 in No. 10 Group.<\/p>\n<p>No. 609 Squadron&rsquo;s Spitfires flew from here from July to November 1940, with a forward flight at Warmwell; Wikipedia&rsquo;s squadron history credits it with 46 enemy aircraft destroyed in August 1940 alone and, on 21 October 1940, with becoming the first squadron to reach 100 confirmed kills. No. 238 Squadron&rsquo;s Hurricanes shared the field from June 1940 to February 1941. Wikipedia names the American volunteers Andy Mamedoff, &lsquo;Red&rsquo; Tobin and &lsquo;Shorty&rsquo; Keough among the Battle of Britain pilots here.<\/p>\n<p>The airfield paid for its role. The Airshows Present history records that on 14 August 1940 three Ju 88s bombed hangars 4 and 5, killing three airmen and wrecking 609 Squadron&rsquo;s hangar and offices along with several Spitfires and Blenheims; the next day another raid hit two hangars, destroying one aircraft and damaging five, without casualties. The account is a single enthusiast source and the figures are given as it states them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>Cat&rsquo;s Eyes and the night Blitz<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>In September 1940 No. 604 Squadron, a specialist night-fighter unit, received the Bristol Beaufighter, heavily armed with cannon and fitted with airborne interception radar. From late 1940 until mid-May 1941 it helped hold the night skies over southern England during the Blitz. Wikipedia counts 50 victories claimed by the squadron while at Middle Wallop, 14 of them by Flight Lieutenant John Cunningham.<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham&rsquo;s first radar-directed victory, a Ju 88, came on the night of 19&ndash;20 November 1940. The press explained his success with a cover story that his eyesight let him see in the dark and that carrots gave him vitamin A; the nickname &lsquo;Cat&rsquo;s Eyes&rsquo; stuck, and Cunningham accepted it as a necessary deception to hide the radar. His radar operator Jimmy Rawnsley shared all but three of his 20 victories. After the war Cunningham flew the de Havilland Comet, the world&rsquo;s first jet airliner, on its first flight in 1949.<\/p>\n<p>The Americans came next. From November 1943 Middle Wallop held the headquarters of IX Fighter Command, and from December the 67th Reconnaissance Group, as USAAF Station 449, flew photographic Spitfires, F-5 Lightnings and F-6 Mustangs over the French coast before D-Day. The airfield history says the group flew 83 low-level sorties photographing some 160 miles of coastline without loss, and it left for France on 4 July 1944. In January 1945 the Royal Navy took the field as HMS Flycatcher, headquarters of its mobile naval air bases; the RAF returned in 1946.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">03<\/span><span>From the air OP school to the Army&rsquo;s own airfield<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>After the war Middle Wallop became the school for the Army&rsquo;s air observation post pilots: Royal Artillery officers who flew light aircraft to direct gunfire. Wikipedia says No. 227 OCU moved here in 1947 (the Airshows Present history says January 1948), became the Air Observation Post School in 1950 and the Light Aircraft School in 1952. Helicopters followed: the airfield history mentions early Hoverfly, Sycamore and Dragonfly flights, and the Joint Experimental Helicopter Unit, formed here in 1955 according to the same history.<\/p>\n<p>When British Army aviation became independent of the RAF on 1 September 1957 the school became the core of the new Army Air Corps, and on 1 October 1958 RAF Home Command handed the station to the Army. Through the 1960s and 1970s its instructors trained crews on the Skeeter, Sioux, Scout, Alouette, Gazelle and Lynx, the types flown in Borneo, Aden, Northern Ireland and the Falklands.<\/p>\n<p>The Army Flying Museum grew beside the airfield. The museum says its collection began at RAF Andover in 1946, first opened to the public in 1974 and moved into a purpose-built hangar in 1984; Wikipedia gives 1987 as its founding date, apparently for the present institution. A 2.59 million pound refurbishment was completed in 2019, and a memorial unveiled in 2017 commemorates more than 5,000 people who died in the service of British Army flying. On 1 August 2009 the station was renamed the Army Aviation Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>The Apache school and a new brigade headquarters<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>Middle Wallop&rsquo;s role today is the front line&rsquo;s schoolroom. When the Ministry of Defence announced the AH-64E fleet in January 2022, it counted 165 new jobs at the Army Aviation Centre, home of the Attack Helicopter Training School, where Boeing already had more than 40 employees training crews on the older Apache AH Mk1. In March 2025 it confirmed that the operational AH-64E fleet was at Wattisham and the training fleet at Middle Wallop. Under the UK Military Flying Training System, a contract signed on 20 May 2016 named Middle Wallop, with Shawbury and Valley, for tri-service helicopter training on H135 and H145 aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The station has also become the Army&rsquo;s aviation headquarters in a wider sense. The Army lists HQ Army Air Corps, the 1st Aviation Brigade headquarters, 2 and 7 Training Regiments, 5 Regiment and the reserve 6 Regiment here. 5 Regiment, which had flown surveillance aircraft and Gazelles over Northern Ireland from Aldergrove since 1979, moved here by November 2024, a year after the Gazelle was retired.<\/p>\n<p>On 13 May 2024 King Charles III, who had been Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps since his years as Prince of Wales, handed the role to William, Prince of Wales, near the Middle Wallop control tower. He also unveiled a plaque for the museum&rsquo;s Apache AH Mk1, ZJ224, which had flown in Afghanistan, including a rescue mission in Helmand on 15 January 2007 (Operation Glacier). The Prince then took an Apache capability flight, his first engagement as Colonel-in-Chief.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Middle Wallop Flying Station, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1940<\/div>\n<p>April: RAF Middle Wallop opens, first as a flying training school; by summer it is a Battle of Britain sector station.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1940<\/div>\n<p>14 August: Ju 88s bomb hangars 4 and 5, killing three airmen, according to an airfield history. 19&ndash;20 November: John Cunningham of No. 604 Squadron scores his first radar-directed night victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1943<\/div>\n<p>November and December: HQ IX Fighter Command and the 67th Reconnaissance Group arrive; the field becomes USAAF Station 449.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1944<\/div>\n<p>4 July: the Americans leave for France after photographing the Normandy coast before D-Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1945<\/div>\n<p>January: the Royal Navy takes over the airfield as RNAS Middle Wallop (HMS Flycatcher); the RAF returns in 1946.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1947<\/div>\n<p>No. 227 OCU, the Army air observation post training unit, moves in (January 1948 in another account); it becomes the AOP School in 1950 and the Light Aircraft School in 1952.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1957<\/div>\n<p>1 September: the Army Air Corps is formed, independent of the RAF, with its training centre here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1958<\/div>\n<p>1 October: RAF Home Command formally hands the station to the Army Air Corps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1974<\/div>\n<p>The Army&rsquo;s aviation museum first opens to the public, according to the museum; it moves into a purpose-built hangar in 1984.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2009<\/div>\n<p>1 August: the station is renamed the Army Aviation Centre; 7 Regiment moves in from Netheravon, according to Wikipedia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2016<\/div>\n<p>20 May: the UK Military Flying Training System helicopter contract names Middle Wallop as a tri-service training site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2022<\/div>\n<p>January: the AH-64E programme brings 165 new jobs to the Army Aviation Centre, according to the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2024<\/div>\n<p>13 May: King Charles III hands the role of Colonel-in-Chief to the Prince of Wales.
