NOTES: One of the very pleasing aspects of trying to produce this 'Guide', and the main purpose, is to put on record as many known flying sites as possible. But sometimes things like this crop up. Often frustrating - is the lack of proof.
Mr Graham Frost, a very good friend of this 'Guide', told me about this site, and asked me what I made of it? The truth is I have no idea - it certainly has all the hallmarks of a private airfield with two runways, but, I can find no supporting evidence.
It is often the case in the U.K. that many private airstrips have a short life, for just a strip layed out, even as short as one season. This looks as if it might have been operational for longer? And, as in the detail, was this really a hangar?
As always in this 'Guide', 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!
