BEN MORE: Private airstrip
Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
NOTES: This information came from the AAIB report EW/G2019/07/38.
It states that the Piper PA-18-150, N162AW, was operating from GLENFORSA to remote field sites. And that this site, called a 'Private Strip' was to the west of Ben More and had been visited earlier in the day. A gust of wind lifted the aircraft into the air, after which it turned over, and declared a write-off.
The main reason for including this into the 'Guide' is to illustrate how so many landing sites have, and are, being used by light aircraft with STOL capabilities, very few of which will never appear in this 'Guide'. Trying to trace the majority of helicopter landing sites would be, of course, utterly impossible.
Having spent some time scouring Google Earth for a sign of this 'strip', I'll admit defeat. If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
