Much of the former RAF Little Rissington has become a business park but it also houses an active Flying Training aerodrome under No.22 (Training) Group. This general view across the runways is from the end of the green lane and in the distance is of part of the business park. The airfield perimeter is dotted with warning signs.

For many years it was the home of the Central Flying School and a fascinating history is at
