 Scottish Aero Club - History
A dialogue between Scottish Aero Club and Perth and Kinross Council was established and, after considerable effort by the Committee, an arrangement was formulated whereby the Scottish Aero Club lease the runways, clubhouse and main hangar and Tayflite work in partnership with Scottish Aero Club to provide flying training.
In 1968 the hard runways were constructed and Perth became the first flying school for commercial pilots in Britain to have the benefit of surfaced runways.
The idea of an aerodrome at Perth was first mooted in the early 1930s by Thomas Hunter, Lord Provost of Perth (and later the local M.P.) but received little support until 1935 when the idea was resurrected by Sir John Ure Primrose.
