Present airfield

The present airfield lies to the north of the original site. The original airfield lay to the south of the one surviving T1 type hangar on the airfield. Little evidence of the original site exists, as the land was returned to farming after the war.

Sibson Aerodrome is the only surviving satellite airfield of RAF Peterborough, now Westwood, Cambridgeshire.
