Ballyalton
BALLYALTON: Private airstrip
Note: These six pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: 2nm WSW of Newtownards, 7.5nm E to ESE of Belfast city centre
Period of operation: Unknown? Possibly from the early 2000s to -
Runway: Most unusually this has changed over the years. Initially in 2009 it appears to be: 01/19 140 grass
With possibly?: 12/30 115 grass
As the 2017 picture shows, the runway was then: 03/21 295 grass
But, the 2018 picture clearly shows: 01/19 290 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location.
The dating system on Google Earth images is very unreliable, (but why?), but even so the nature of this site has changed considerably over the years.
If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be very welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
