The Clubhouse

The first wooden hangers were erected by 1932. In 1936 these were replaced by the present hangar and clubhouse, designed by renowned architect Christopher ‘Kit’ Nicholson. He was a Cambridge Don specialising in Architecture, and was the private owner of a Wren salplane.

The building won great acclaim in the architectural world and is now Grade 2 listed and retains all it’s 1930s heritage. In the restaurant the wooden tables, travertine marble fireplace and even the the light fittings were all part of the Nicholson art deco as were the special stools in the bar.
