LEC Airfield

LEC Airfield, also known as Bognor Regis Airfield, is an airfield in Bognor Regis in the United Kingdom.

It was formerly owned by the LEC Refrigeration company, and was located behind their factory. Flying may have begun here from a grass strip in 1943. From 1947 the company used Auster and Miles Gemini aircraft to visit its overseas buyers. In the 1970s the company used Cessna aircraft to visit their factories in Londonderry and Calais. A hard tarmac runway was created in 1984. David Purley's Pitts Special was also hangared there, in which Purley died while practicing aerobatics in 1985.

LEC Refrigeration was sold to Sime Darby in 1994, who sold the airfield to BR Aviation Limited in 2016.

The airfield is home to the Bognor Regis Gliding Club since 2016. The runway is paved for 610m, but a grass extension brings the total length up to 850m.

LEC Airfield is not to be confused with RAF Bognor, which was located several miles away.
