Opened in 1931 as Staverton Aerodrome, Gloucestershire Airport has been progressively developed during the last 75 years into one of the busiest airfields in the UK. Just four miles from Cheltenham, home of prestigious horse-racing, literature and music festivals and only six miles from the cathedral city of Gloucester. With VATSIM ATC on line every Tuesday evening for at least the past 4 years, it is also one of the busiest virtual airfields in the VATSIM system. The Club established its base at Gloucestershire in December 2004. | ||||||||||||||||

"Biggin on the Bump" was an airfield which played a pivotal role in the 1940 Battle of Britain and still today has that feel of "something historic happened here". It's long main runway can accommodate even the largest of the Club's aircraft and it features regular VATSIM ATC. The Club has built a full scale base here with an operational centre, clubhouse and hangar, and has operated from Biggin Hill since its formation in February 2004. | ||||||||||||||||

The Club Star Awards process is used to analyse each member's Pilot Reports and to allocate Stars for recording visits to these locations. This month the selected guest airfields are:
