The aircraft, events and personalities that have shaped Elstree Aerodrome over 90 years

This work examines the aircraft, events and personalities that have shaped Elstree over nearly 70 years, from its humble beginnings in the 1930s as a landing strip associated with a country club to one of the foremost general aviation airfields in the country.

Grant Peerless took early retirement in 1999 from a career in civil engineering and then worked as a consultant until retiring finally in 2013. With his late co-author Richard Riding, they wrote Elstree Aerodrome: The Past in Pictures and Leavesden Aerodrome: From Halifaxes to Hogwarts. Grant went on to research all the airfields in the UK, publishing* UK Airfields Past and Present: A Directory of Airfields* from 1908 to 2018 in 2020. He flies regularly from Elstree and has so far visited over 130 airfields all over England.
