NOTES:
I have to thank Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide' for pointing this site out.
The short hard strip for model flying, more or less in the middle of the grass airstrip, appears around 2012. I have great admiration for whoever laid out this lovely well kempt site. It really is a credit to all concerned. I have had a bit of a thing about GA and model flyers sharing facilities for many years.
As always in this 'Guide' if anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated. I would like to know for example, which Club operates model flying here. Also, is that distinct square concrete patch near the hangar really a helipad?
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
