Once a large RAF maintenance base and wartime and post-war aircraft receiving and distribution centre. For just under a decade from 1883 it was an American airbase but all military flying stopped in 1993. Since 2001 Kemble has been a civilian airfield. The Bristol Aero Collection Museum and the Hunters of the Delta jets fleet are based here.

Kemble's first show of the year is usually in a vintage aircraft show, held in May. Mainly a fly-in, there are plenty of vintage craft on display and probably a shortish flying display.

The main annual show is usually held on Father's day. There is generally a mixture of classic jets and RAF displays as well as some airshow regulars. Traditionally a one day show, it went to two days in 2009.

Later in the year, typically mid September, a smaller show is part airfield open day and part flying display. The open day part gives the opportunity to see the organisations based at the airport including Ultimate High as well as the Delta Jets. There is generally a relatively small flying display, usually vintage craft based at the airfield and a few visitors.
