Flamingo Park
FLAMINGO PARK: Private airstrip
Note: Now known as Flamingo Land Resort
The map is from Pooleys Flight Guide. Both of the pictures were obtained from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Just N of Kirby Misperton village, about 2.5nm SSW of Pickering town centre
Period of operation: Late 1960s until mid 1980s?
Runway: 09/27 670 x 45 grass
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for pointing out this location. He tells us that a Cessna, (presumably a 172?), was employed giving pleasure flights. Also noted visiting was the Piper PA-22-150 Caribbean G-ARFB (ex N3625Z), and the Mooney M.20A G-ARWY (ex N1079B).
If anybody can kindly offer advice and information this will be much appreciated. Pictures are always most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
