Aircraft may be relocated to Shoreham Airport during winter months when grass runway operations become limited elsewhere. The Velis Electro is especially suited here thanks to established Aerovolt charging infrastructure already installed on site.

Shoreham gives the club a cleaner year-round operating option for Sussex flying, electric operations and member access when seasonal conditions change.
