About Wisley Airfield
Wisley Airfield is a former wartime airfield located in the Parish of Ockham near Wisley in Surrey, England. Originally a grass airstrip used to test aircraft built at Weybridge by Vickers, the runway was converted to tarmac in 1952. The airfield continued in use for test aircraft when Vickers aviation activities were subsumed into British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Flying ceased in 1973 because the runway was too short for large aircraft and was too close to Heathrow Airport. All the structures on the site were removed, except for the runway, and the land was sold back to its principal former owner in 1980 for agricultural use.
