Real Aeroplane Company
Breighton Airfield, a former Second World War heavy bomber base and cold-war nuclear missile launch site, is now home to the classic aircraft collection of the Real Aeroplane Company and the Real Aeroplane Club, an active flying club whose members own and operate many unusual, classic and ex-military aircraft.

The Real Aeroplane Company aircraft collection consists of a number of interesting aircraft. Probably the most charismatic is the Aeronca 100, first registered in March 1937 and affectionately known as 'Jeeves' (in recognition of its registration G-AEVS), this aircraft was the first of many restoration projects undertaken by the RAC and has therefore earned pride of place on their logo.
