Fishburn airfield sits atop a hill in the picturesque landscape of County Durham in North East England. Fishburn is the busiest general aviation airfield in the region with a huge number of aircraft hangered at the airfield. The airfield is relatively new by UK aviation standards and was was opened on 30 June 1995 by the then local MP, Leader of the Opposition party and soon to be Prime Minister, Tony Blair. A plaque set into a propeller can be seen at the airfield to commemorate this.

Fishburn was named as “Airfield of the year” by aviation magazine Flyer in 2004 and still maintains a welcoming atmosphere for both pilots and spectators, with the famous Aviator Bistro commanding great views for anyone who wants to watch the comings and goings of this busy airfield. Visitors are also treated to numerous 1950s aircraft in the carpark and there are even open days so that visitors can sit in the cockpits of these old machines.
