In June of 1932 the Prince of Wales (later Duke of Windsor), landed at Desford for the first time - he was promptly made a Life Member. After that, since he had his own aeroplane, he often visited the Club and is remembered sitting on the Clubhouse verandah drinking tea on fine summer evenings.

In July the Puss Moth was sold and a Miles Falcon (G-ADIU) bought instead, this was a four seat cabin type that cruised at 122m.p.h. and cost £609.14.6d new.

Braunstone was 326 feet above sea level and 3 miles from the City centre; to start with 72½ acres of the 154 acres put aside for an Airport by the Council was prepared as a landing field with full facilities. Night flying being facilitated by the installation of an 800,000 candlepower Chance Shadow Bar Floodlight rated at IOKW, this was mounted on top of the Clubhouse and its rotating and tilting beam could be seen for 40 miles. Runways were 1,000 feet in any direction on the totally grass field, one specification was that a car should be able to drive anywhere on the grass at 20 miles an hour with no discomfort to the passengers. To clear the field for flying 3000 yards of hedges and 160 trees had to be removed.

The biggest airliners of the day could land and take off at Braunstone and it became a regular stopping point on the scheduled service from Hull to Southampton. A small charter company, Crilly Airways started up running two eight seat De Havilland Dragon Rapides, these were G-ACCZ and G-ACDN. Apparently Lindsay Everard bought himself a similar Dragon at this time, and the Club had two Puss Moths, G-AAZV and G-ABNS.

Braunstone was licenced by the Air Ministry on March 27th 1935, and the Club moved in, leaving Desford empty, in late June that year. Desford (the following winter), became an RAF Elementary Training School and throughout WW2 was a repair station for aircraft, the field by then being owned by Reid & Sigrist who made and repaired aircraft instruments.

1935 - 6 was the best year yet for the Aero Club, with 276 hours flown, outdone in 1936-7 with 288 hours.
