Old Buckenham Airfield has been successfully sold to Geoffrey Lynch OBE, a long time aviation enthusiast.
The deal, brokered by the Airfield Manager, Matt Wilkins will continue to see the airfield run by Touchdown Aero Centre Ltd, which holds a CAA Aerodrome Licence.
Events such as the world famous Old Buckenham Airshow and Military Revival will benefit from the news, with planning already started on Airshow 2014 after a very successful show in late June.
Matt Wilkins, Airfield Manager said, “I am delighted to be able to announce this deal, which will give Old Buckenham long term stability and a guaranteed future, ensuring that the last two years of work in keeping the airfield running after a period of difficulty have been ultimately successful. Under Geoffrey’s ownership the ambitious plans to improve the airfield in a myriad of ways can now be put into action.”
Geoffrey Lynch said, “I am a great admirer of all of the fantastic work that Matt Wilkins has done in order to turn around the fortunes of Old Buckenham and look forward to maintaining its reputation.”
