RAF Coltishall

In a bid to put Norwich on the British aviation map, Swift Aircraft relocated to Scottow Enterprise Park (formerly RAF Coltishall) late last year.  Hangar 2 has now been refurbished to house our head office and facilitate a manufacturing hub for the new Swift.

As a company we feel that moving here is a fitting tribute to the site, and an incredible rebirth. Helping to revive the British aviation industry has been a key goal of the company from the outset and being able to do this from a site with such historical aviation value is inspiring. The passion of the local community to restore the heritage is infectious, and the support we have gained for our enterprise has been overwhelming.

There are not many airfields available in and around the Norfolk area, home to the Swift venture, as most of the runways have been dug up or are in disrepair. The fact that Coltishall does not fall into this category is testament to the local community who fought hard to stop controversial plans to dig up part of the runway.

We’ll share updates on the progress at Scottow over the next few months as we continue to breathe new life into such an important historic building. ​
