Saint-Inglevert Airfield is a general aviation airfield at Saint-Inglevert, Pas-de-Calais, France. In the First World War an airfield was established near Saint-Inglevert by the Royal Flying Corps, later passing to the Royal Air Force on formation (on 1-4-1918) and thus becoming RAF Saint Inglevert. In 1920, a civil airfield was established on a different site which was a designated customs airfield.
