Area view
The area view is from my Google Earth© derived database, But first we need to thank Mr Graham Frost, a great long-term friend of this 'Guide' for pointing out this location, which, when I first looked at it, seemed hard to understand - two strips barely over a 100 metres long! Then I remembered that light aviation has progressed enormously since I learnt to fly, and for example, types like the Cubcrafters Carbon Cub UL, and Zenair STOL CH701 and CH750, both designed to operate from unprepared 'strips', could comfortably cope with these two strips.
If anybody can kindly offer advice and information, this will be much appreciated. Plus of course, pictures are always welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
