Steventon
STEVENTON: Private airstrip
Note: All four of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just SW of Steventon and just S of the Didcot to Swindon railway, about 4nm WNW of Didcot town centre
Period of operation: 2016 (?) to -
Runway: 2017 to 2018: 09/27 1030 grass
2020: 09/27 1430 grass
NOTES: It was Terry Clark who pointed out this rather exceptional private airstrip, and he tells me that a replica P-51 Mustang or Spitfire could be based here? (Written in August 2018). Any additional advice will be most welcome.
In the 2017 picture a quite substantial mast can be seen at the eastern end of the runway - hardly idea of course - but by 2018 this was being dismantled, which is just visible in that picture.
Certainly unusual for a private airstrip, it does make one wonder what type of aircraft 1400 metres is needed for?
