Summary[edit]

Description
English: Track to Charmy Down Airfield (disused) I met a gentleman near here who told me Sir Lawrence Olivier learned to fly at this airfield.

Quote from an e mail received from Alistair Sutherland:

I have spoken to one of the Microlight pilots up at Charmy Down. Laurence Olivier was based there for a while, but not on pilot training. He was on a navigators course , There is a photo of him around taken near the Control Tower on a bicycle. The course he was on involved cycling round the airfield and map reading – but apparently he kept getting lost and failed the course.

The RAF’s loss was the theatrical world’s gain.
