Cumbernauld airstrip

CUMBERNAULD: Private airstrip

Map c.1977

Note: In September 2023, Mr Graham Frost found this map. The runway dimensions are, converted from feet to meters:

2200x300 = 670x91 1800x150 = 548x46

Gliding only at weekends

NOTES: Many years ago I came across an intriguing mention of CUMBERNAULD being a private airstrip for Cumbernauld New Town listed in about 1975 and situated off the B8011 road which is pretty much where the later “Airport” seems to be. I reckon this site later became the regional GA airport also listed. And, it was also listed as being a gliding site in or around this period. In 1977 CUMBERNAULD was certainly listed as being a gliding site only.
