NOTES: I well remember landing here many years ago. The N/S runway was downhill when approaching from the south. The runway undulations were/are so extreme I expect you’d nearly disappear from sight at times when taking off or landing. Good fun. The detail view shows that DRAYCOT FARM has become very popular since my visit in 1996.
