Bannadon Farm
BANNADON FARM: Private airstrip (Aka BROADBURY)
Note: The first three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just SW of Broadbury village on the A3079, about 6.5nm W of Oakhampton town centre
Period of operation: Unknown?
Runway: 07/25 Max run = 650 grass
Notes: Without any doubt neither of these aircraft listed below actually need a strip this long. But, with trees at both ends, no doubt it is a case of take-off short and land long.
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. He has found a picture, dated 1993, of the Piper PA-17 Vagabond, G-BDVA, taking off from here. He also tells us that the Beagle A.109 Airedale G-ASBH has been based here. The register shows it being at this address from 13.08.85 to - . So, in 2024, at the time of writing, presumably still is.
If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
