Peterborough Business Airport (IATA: N/A, ICAO: EGSF) is a privately-owned airfield in the English county of Cambridgeshire near the villages of Holme and Conington. It was originally built as RAF Glatton in 1942-3 by the 809th US Army Engineers and housed B-17 Flying Fortress bombers of the 457th Bomb Group. After World War II the field was passed to RAF Bomber Command but was mothballed in 1946. The intervening history is unclear, but by the mid 1970s there were portacabins on site serving the airfield, and a dedicated building with control tower was built in 1995. In 2000 the flying club changed hands and was renamed Flying Club Conington. Peterborough Conington Aerodrome has a CAA Ordinary Licence (Number P861) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flying instruction as authorised by the licensee (Aerolease Limited)[1].
