It was previously used as vehicle storage and a processing site for nearly 16,000 vehicles.

Dorchester is currently developing its commercial estate with the site already providing over 1 million sq ft of industrial and office accommodation and close to 100 acres of concreted and hardstanding areas.

White Commercial Surveyors and Colliers International are marketing up to 50 acres of concrete hardstanding and buildings at Heyford Park and can now provide self-contained sites from two to 50 acres.

This also includes a number of buildings including aircraft hangers currently fitted out as a vehicle workshop with ancillary ground and first floor offices, A body shop with ancillary offices and stores, three further workshop and a driver waiting facility and a standalone two-storey office building.

Chris White, White Commercial said: “Heyford Park has a huge attraction for both car storage, warehousing and distribution and Hi Tech and innovation with many existing companies on site occupying buildings and using the extensive hardstanding areas once flown on by F111 USAF Fighter Jets.

"The secure site provides excellent accommodation and facilities and regularly used by film crew for its outstanding scenery and buildings.”

Paul White, The Dorchester Group commercial asset manager, said: “Dorchester’s development of the commercial estate has seen many existing companies benefit from both our on-site presence and our flexible and responsive approach to their property needs and requirements.

"The secure site benefits from a strategic location in Central England and provides offices, logistics, special logistics and automotive testing facilities”
