Cemaes Bay
CEMAES BAY: Private airstrip
Note: The first picture was obtained from Google Earth ©. The local area and area views are from my Google Earth © derived database.
Operated by: Mr Arthur V and Brenda T Orchard
Location: Just N of the A5025, just W of Neuadd, E of Camaes and about 10.5nm NE of Holyhead town centre
Period of operation: 1998 to 2002
Runway: Probably (?) 15/33 160 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' to thank for pointing out this location. It appears that Mr and Mrs Orchard operated the Starstreak Shadow SA-11, G-BXXZ, from this site from 19.05.98 until 01.11.2002.
Trying to trace the strip used on Google Earth © reveals nothing until 2018, when, during a very dry period, (as so often happens), the existence of an airstrip appears to be clearly evident? Or am I badly mistaken? 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!
