 Alongside 07/25 is a grass runway of similar width and the same length which is primarily used for the winch launching of gliders, and for most landings, so avoiding the aerotow operation on the concrete runway.The currently active airfield is much smaller than the original and no longer has direct access to Saltby village, and instead there is a new entrance on the road between the villages of Skillington and Sproxton.The club is named after Buckminster Estate, from which the airfield is rented.
