About
Dunkeswell Aerodrome (ICAO: EGTU) is an airfield in East Devon, England. It is located next to the village of Dunkeswell near the eastern edge of the Blackdown Hills, approximately 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) north of the town of Honiton and 16 mi (26 km) northeast of Exeter. It is a busy civilian airfield with a mix of general aviation, flight instruction, skydiving, Spitfire flights, helicopter flights and occasionally wing walking. Nearby (1 mi (1.6 km)) to the southwest is North Hill, a grass airstrip run by Devon & Somerset Gliding Club. Dunkeswell Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P674) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Air Westward Limited). The aerodrome is not licensed for night use. It offered tandem skydiving opportunities with Sky Dive Buzz until 2025, when the company was placed into compulsory liquidation following the death of two participants whose parachute failed to open. Dunkeswell Airfield Heritage Centre is situated to one side of the large propeller memorial.
