Visit us We would be delighted to welcome you to aéro - delahaye, on Val du Fresne Farm, at Verchocq in the Pas de Calais, 35 km from Le Touquet, 85 km from Lille, 60 km from Arras. And if you come by plane, we are 16 Nm from the sea, between Saint Omer (LFQN) and Le Touquet Paris Plage (LFAT), GPS 50°32’28’’N 002°02’01’’E. Our background We run a mixed farm of 150 hectares and we have got 10 hectares for recreational flying. Our family have been farmers on this land for 400 years. Naturally, we are therefore attached to it! I am Jean Louis Delahaye. I am 40 years old, and since childhood, I have been mad about aviation. First of all model aircraft, then flying. I have been flying since 1999 (PPL and microlight) and at the same time I began my own personal aerodrome project. Since 2000, I have developed a private aerodrome and microlight field, with club house, flying school and rental of aircraft parking, two runways, one of which is 630 m x 25 for planes , and the other 270 m x 20 for pendular microlights. I obtained the official authorisation to develop this project on 31st December 2001. Since then, the flying school has evolved to flying club status, with a school for pendular and 3 axis microlights, two machines and an instructor, and the club house has become a restaurant which serves regional dishes at lunchtime and in the evening . Since 2002, we have also had the possibility of accommodating aviation enthusiasts in our self-catering holiday cottage, which sleeps 7. Amongst enthusiasts Our wish is to steer aéro – delahaye towards a recreational flying activity exclusively for enthusiasts like ourselves. Between the North of France, Belgium, Holland and Great Britain, the sky is full of civil and military traffic. But in our area, there is a free Class G airspace for recreational flying. Few residents and little equipment (no transponder and radio not compulsory) make it easy to develop mlicrolighting and classic planes, for example. Moreover, close by (16 Nm) there are two aerobatic training zones which we can use and we have a partnership with Le Touquet International Airport, where we can fill up. We are autonomous for microlights. We want to preserve this space in order to have the freedom to fly. That is why we have studied and researched the best formula to allow enthusiasts like ourselves to use it.
