Not really. It's owned by the Science Museum and the access to the runway is gated. There are a couple of taxiways you can get to, but they're not very long and the easiest one runs over a blind crest, so with businesses in the hangars there there's not much opportunity to get your toe down.

Does anyone know if you can get on the old airfield at Wroughton? Have been karting there many times but after watching the last top gear and having a look on google earth, seems like the runway and taxiway's are in good nick.
IIRC your a mover at Lyneham?Go & speak to Mel in Clothing stores...he heads up the RC Aero club (they fly a replica herc)
& fly from Wroughton, see if he can give you a contact for the airfield.

nice wheels...You must be on MAMS with a car that can drink petrol like that!
I could have swore your MG was blue
see you on the Gorge run in a few weeks-catch up then!
Try www.motorsport-events.co.uk/ they run events at both Hullavington & Keevil, both good venues.
I have used them a couple of times and have been very happy with their set up and value for money.

You guys could try to pull some weight and get us on to Hullavington. They do track days there so I am sure a little word in the shell of whoever is looking after the place should get us on. I think its mostly army corps there now as they run a glider club.
Not in anymore, & they would not listen to an amoeba like Adambloody mover...just a wannabe stacker!

I think you can get onto Keevil on occassion.
I live near there and got the information for legitimate access to this.its owned by the RAF so didnt really fancy sneeking on there for a quick run for fear of being landed on lol
its less than £2 grand to hire for the day to have multiple people on the track/runway area but they require £5m of public liability insurance. and an ambulance (like st johns) on site
you then get in to the relms of marshaling and noise restrictians it could get messy basicaly.
I had thought about doing one with friends and family for a cheap track day but its a very difficult thing to arrange.
