From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wigram Aerodrome (IATA: N/A, ICAO: NZWG) is a former Royal New Zealand Air Force base located in the Christchurch suburb of Wigram. It is named after Sir Henry Wigram. Originally home to the RNZAF Central Flying School (CFS), it was decommissioned in 1995 following the CFS' relocation to RNZAF Ohakea two years earlier.
Wigram Aerodrome maintains its aviation character, with several aviation businesses using its facilities. These include Pionair Private Aircharter, Christchurch Parachute School and Christchurch Flying School. Three Air Training Corps units, and a Cadet Corps unit also occupy a building within the aerodrome.
Christchurch's Air Force Museum is located at the northern side of the aerodrome. It houses a large collection of aircraft and interactive displays, and is one of only two such museums in New Zealand.
