Road crossing end of Seighford Airfield disused runway Clanford Lane near Seighford crossing the south-west end of the former RAF Airfield runway. Tarmac covers the original concrete slabs of the runway and their outline can be seen in the tarmac. On the left, hidden from view by an earth bank, is the main part of the runway, which is used for driving experiences in top-of-the-range cars.

Disused runway of Seighford airfield, Staffordshire Looking south-west to the end of the runway. The outline of the original concrete slabs making up the runway can be seen in the pattern of weeds and raised parts of the surface (or by looking on Google Earth). This part was used for HGV (trucks) and PSV (buses and coaches) training. There were portable offices on-site. All that remains are some abandoned traffic cones
