Baginton Air Pageant

If your Sat-Nav supports grid coordinates, here is the reference to enter: 52.368381° N 1.4903855° W
Our Coventry Airbase is on the Western side of Coventry Airport, about 15 minutes from Junction 2 of the M6.
From M6 Westbound
Leave the motorway at Junction 2, signposted A46 (M69). At the roundabout take the first exit, signposted for the Airport, Coventry (E&S) and Warwick.
Follow the dual carriageway down under the flyover and take the right fork. Follow the slip road up onto the A46
From M6 Eastbound
Leave the motorway at Junction 2, signposted A46 and M69. Take the right hand lane, filtering to the middle lane at the roundabout. From the roundabout take the first exit, signposted for the Airport, Coventry (E&S) and Warwick.
Follow the dual carriageway down under the flyover and take the right fork. Follow the slip road up onto the A46
From M69
Stay in one of the right hand two lanes and follow the signs for A46 Coventry (E&S). Follow the road to run off the end of the motorway onto the A46.
A46 from motorways
Follow the A46 to the first roundabout where you should take the first exit. (You can use either lane). Follow this road until the next roundabout, where you should take the left or middle lane to take the second exit, still staying on the A46.
At the next roundabout, take the number two lane and cross the roundabout to take exit two. At the small roundabout, turn right on to Rowley Road.
Pass the Midland Air Museum on your left (Well worth a visit!) and continue to a small roundabout where you should take the first exit.
Continue through the village and turn left into Coventry Airport West just after the traffic calming restriction.
Public Transport
The nearest railway station is Coventry. The 538 and 539 buses runs from the station to Baginton Village, from where it's a short walk to the Airbase. If you have members in your party who would find a walk of approximately one mile difficult, then please call us in advance and we'll do our best to help.
