CRAYS HILL:  Private airstrip    (Aka ELM FARM?)

Note: Both of these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©








 

Location:  E of Church Lane, just N of Crays Hill, about 2nm W of Wickford and roughly 2.5nm ESE of Billericay

Period of operation:  1990s (?) to circa 2004?


Runway:  08/26   425   grass


NOTES:  As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. But is it? In the excellent book ESSEX: A Hidden Aviation History by Paul Bingley and Richard E. Flagg I came across this entry in their index of Essex airfields: Wickford - Elm Farm. Apparently operating until 2008.

A search of the area on Google Earth only revealed this airstrip.

If anybody can kindly offer advice, this will be much appreciated.
