[2] Work on the airport began in 1932 and in 1937 the council contracted Walker Brothers Ltd of Victoria Ironworks, Walsall, to erect a hangar.

[1] Operations were limited by the airfield's size, slope, and wet clay soil, making it unsuitable for larger aircraft.

The land is now a public open space, known as Aldridge Airport, and hosts a variety of leisure activities under the auspices of Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council.

[5] Currently it is also used by local dog walkers, Children's football league and all forms of model aircraft flying, this has been on going since the mid 1940s, continuing the tradition of an airfield.

[1] Walsall Archives and Local History Centre holds a number of research files containing documents relating to the airport.
