Originally a Second World War airfield called RAF Thame it later came under civil owners Airtech Limited who were based there until the 1990s.

The following units were posted here at some point: In 1965 the airfield started gliding operations run by the Upward Bound Trust.

The Upward Bound Trust is a charity that provides glider training for those over the age of 16.

With the building of an industrial estate the trust held a hangar appeal supported by the local community of Haddenham, it raised enough money to build a new hangar and a new access road.

The site was designated for redevelopment for housing and industrial use.
