Area view
The area view is from my Google Earth © derived database.
Location: Roughly 1.5nm SE of Kirkby Stephen, and about 15nm SW of Barnard Castle
Period of operation: ?
Runway: 17/35 440 grass
NOTES: A look at Google Earth (image date 2011) shows the runway quite clearly. However, it is hard to say if it was, or is, still in use?
It would appear that a hangar wasn't visible; unless it was reached by taxying over a narrow bridge. If this is the case it would make this airstrip most unusual and possibly unique in the UK? Any advice on this will be most welcome.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
