Bodmin Airfield was a dream come true for a local business man, Mike Robertson, founder of Trago Mills. He wanted to make aviation available to everyone. In pursuit of this dream, local engineers, The Dingle Brothers were commissioned to construct the airfield on what was once known as Treswithick Farm. In 1972, the airfield was bought by the Cornwall Flying Club, which, in turn, became a limited company, Cornwall Flying Club Ltd, in 1978. In keeping with the original ideals and dreams of its creator, Cornwall Flying Club operates as a non-profit organisation, to keep costs down for the end user.[1]
Trago Mills Ltd. (Aviation Division) designed and built the Trago Mills SAH-1 in the early 1980s here. The SAH-1 derived its name from its designer, Sydney A. Holloway. It was hoped that the Trago Mills SAH-1 would be sold as a military trainer to replace the then ageing "Bulldog" fleet.[2]
Bodmin airfield is situated on the edge of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, just off the main A30 dual carriageway. It is operated by the Cornwall Flying Club and has a clubhouse, a lunchtime bar and a restaurant. CFC Ltd. has five instructors and four aircraft, including two Van's Aircraft RV-12, a Cessna 172 and a Cessna 152. The airfield is also home to Cornwall Aviation Services, an aircraft maintenance business.
