by car

We are located on Kittyhawk Farm with easy access from the A22 & A27, north west of Eastbourne, east of Brighton and approx 1.5 hour's drive south of London. Search for 'Kittyhawk Aerodrome' on Google, Apple Maps or Waze - it will bring you down a 650m private track to the hangar. (Our postcode will NOT bring you to the farm!)

Parking will be clearly marked, past our concrete apron and in to an adjacent field. Please drive slowly down our track. It's single lane, with a couple of places to pull over if there is oncoming traffic.

Do visit the parked helicopter and aircraft areas. Only cross taxiways & runways under guidance of Marshalls.
