Opened already in 1942, the Langar airport is a former Royal Air Force station established during the World War II. It is located near the village of Langar, Nottinghamshire, England. The airfield is located approximately 10 km southeast of Radcliffe on Trent and about 160 km northwest of London. Langar was cleared a drop zone and the first jumps took place there in 1977.
Langar Airfield is 12 miles South East of Nottingham and 5 miles South of Bingham on the border of Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. The Airfield is between the villages of Langar and Harby. The Parachute School is located in the Control Tower building on the Airfield. As there is sometimes some confusion, please note that they are not Nottingham Airport (there is one, but it's six miles away at Tollerton).
From the South: leave the motorway at junction 21a and follow signs for A46 Newark. Langar is signposted from the A46 - the junction also shows Services (if you get to the A52, you have gone too far). Follow this road to its end at a T junction at Langar village. Turn right towards Harby. Going towards Harby from Langar Village, the Airfield is on your left, about 1 mile from Langar, a few hundred yards past the 'John Deere' factory (also on your left). When you come to a row of factories on your right, watch out for the big Skydive Langar sign in the airfield entrance opposite these.
