Hinton in the Hedges Airfield, is an airfield on the outskirts of Brackley in Northamptonshire. The airfield is made up of several runways, one of which is tarmac. It consists of several well-drained short-mown grass runways. The field is flat and plays home to many activities, from power flying to glider flying. Both gliding and skydiving take place each weekend at the airfield. The gliding club is owned by a group called 'Aquila' who have been flying at Hinton in the Hedges for over 20 years. It has two tug planes - a Pawnee and a 1920's Deutch fuel carrier.
