Note:  The first three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©. The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.


Location:  Just W of the A346, just NW of Burbage village, about 4nm SSE to SE of Marlborough town centre 

Period of operation:  Unknown? Possibly 1990s (?) to -


Runway:  09/27   615   grass


NOTES:  As far as I can make out, no obvious sign of a hangar, in the early days. Perhaps available for visiting purposes only? A 600 metre runway indicates it can easily be used by many GA types. If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated. 

I was then contacted by Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide'. He tells us that a hangar was later built and the taxiway at the eastern end of the runway leads down to it. It can be clearly seen in the 2017 picture above.
