It is also known as Bockenfield Aerodrome. Eshott Airfield is home to two flying schools, Purple Aviation and Northumbria Microlights. Purple Aviation operates two Evektor Eurostar EV-97 aircraft powered by a Rotax 912 engine along with one flexi-wing, the Pegasus Quik GT450. And talks have commenced upon the purchase of another aircraft. Northumbria Microlights operates a Medway SLA-80, the only SLA-80 aircraft used in flight training in the British Isles. ==Second World War== From 10 November 1942 during the Second World War it was home to No. 57 Operational Training Unit RAF.
